How do I get filename and line count per file using powershell - powershell

Question

I have the following powershell script to count lines per file in a given directory:
dir -Include *.csv -Recurse | foreach{get-content $_ | measure-object -line}
This is giving me the following output:
Lines Words Characters Property
----- ----- ---------- --------
27
90
11
95
449
...
The counts-per-file is fine (I don't require words, characters, or property), but I don't know what filename the count is for.
The ideal output would be something like:
Filename Lines
-------- -----
Filename1.txt 27
Filename1.txt 90
Filename1.txt 11
Filename1.txt 95
Filename1.txt 449
...
How do I add the filename to the output?

Answer 1

try this:
dir -Include *.csv -Recurse |
% { $_ | select name, #{n="lines";e={
get-content $_ |
measure-object -line |
select -expa lines }
}
} | ft -AutoSize

Answer 2

I can offer another solution :
Get-ChildItem $testPath | % {
$_ | Select-Object -Property 'Name', #{
label = 'Lines'; expression = {
($_ | Get-Content).Length
}
}
}
I operate on the. TXT file, the return value is like this ↓
Name Lines
---- ----
1.txt 1
2.txt 2
3.txt 3
4.txt 4
5.txt 5
6.txt 6
7.txt 7
8.txt 8
9.txt 9
The reason why I want to sort like this is that I am rewriting a UNIX shell command (from The Pragmatic Programmer: Your Journey to Mastery on page 145).
The purpose of this command is to find out the five files with the largest number of lines.
At present, my progress is the above content,i'm close to success.
However, this command is far more complicated than the UNIX shell command!
I believe there should be a simpler way, I'm trying to find it.
find . -type f | xargs wc -l | sort -n | tail -5

Answer 3

I have used the following script that gives me lines in files of all sub directories in folder c:\temp\A. The output is in lines1.txt file. I have applied a filer to choose only file types of ".TXT".
Get-ChildItem c:\temp\A -recurse | where {$_.extension -eq ".txt"} | % {
$_ | Select-Object -Property 'Name', #{
label = 'Lines'; expression = {
($_ | Get-Content).Length
}
}
} | out-file C:\temp\lines1.txt
