Adding string to object emailaddresses - string

I'm trying to add a string to the emailaddresses objects of an Exchange mailbox.
But when I add the string, it doesn't show anything.
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Select-Object DisplayName,PrimarySmtpAddress, #{Name="EmailAddresses";Expression={($_.EmailAddresses | Where-Object {$_ -clike "*smtp*"} | ForEach-Object {$_ -join '_OLD'})}} | where-object {($_.primarysmtpaddress -like "juan#contoso.com")}
but when I do a replace operation, it shows me the emailaddresses replaced correctly. Why doesn't it add the string but replace it?
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Select-Object DisplayName,PrimarySmtpAddress, #{Name="EmailAddresses";Expression={($_.EmailAddresses | Where-Object {$_ -clike "*smtp*"} | ForEach-Object {$_ -replace "smtp:","Remp:"}) -join "OLD"}} | where-object {($_.primarysmtpaddress -like "juan#contoso.com")}
I have also tried with the concatenation operator, but I get the same result.
thanks in advance.

Powershell excel header sorting by alphabet

I have the following code to get the headers in an excel
$inputTable = Import-Excel -Path $inputFile
$sourceTable = $inputTable | Get-Member -MemberType NoteProperty | %{"$($_.Name)"}
However it is sorting by alphabet. I want the headers in the same sequence as in the excel. How should I do it?
try this :
$inputTable | get-Member -force | where Name -eq "psextended" | %{
$_.Definition.replace('psextended', '').replace('{', '').replace('}', '').Trim() -split ',' | %{$_.trim()}
}

Export CSV Writes Results to Single Line, How Do I get Multiple Lines?

I am looking for duplicates on a share drive so I can let the users know and they can clean it up before we use anything automated. My largest duplicate is close to 400 copies, but the info is all on a single line.
My query is getting the correct results:
$a = Get-ChildItem -Path "S:\" -File -Recurse |
Select-Object -Property Fullname, #{N='Hash';E={(Get-FileHash $_.FullName).Hash}}
$cnt = $a | Group-Object -Property Hash
$cnt |
Select-Object Count, #{N='FullName';E={($_.Group).FullName}}, #{N='Hash';E={($_.Group).Hash}} |
Sort-Object -Property Count -Descending |
Export-Csv C:\Temp\S_Drive_Counts.csv
Here is an example of my results where each entry is on a single line:
"Count","FullName","Hash"
"2","S:\Generation 1\Certification Authority.txt S:\Generation 2\Certification Authority.txt","498868376A5377F731593E9F96EC99F34C69F47537C81B9B32DBAC9321462B83 498868376A5377F731593E9F96EC99F34C69F47537C81B9B32DBAC9321462B83"
I need to pass this info on though, so I'd like to have each entry on a line by itself, similar to this:
"Count","FullName","Hash"
"2","S:\Generation 1\Certification Authority.txt","498868376A5377F731593E9F96EC99F34C69F47537C81B9B32DBAC9321462B83"
"2","S:\Generation 2\Certification Authority.txt","498868376A5377F731593E9F96EC99F34C69F47537C81B9B32DBAC9321462B83"
I can do some string manipulation to the CSV if needed, but I am looking for a way to get it in the correct format before exporting to the CSV.
Unroll your groups. Also, make better use of the pipeline.
Get-ChildItem -Path 'S:\' -File -Recurse |
Select-Object Fullname, #{n='Hash';e={(Get-FileHash $_.FullName).Hash}} |
Group-Object Hash |
ForEach-Object {
$cnt = $_.Count
$_.Group | Select-Object #{n='Count';e={$cnt}}, FullName, Hash
} |
Sort-Object Count, Hash, FullName -Descending |
Export-Csv 'C:\Temp\S_Drive_Counts.csv' -NoType

Code to grab file data into PSOObject and sort by LastWriteTime

I am looking to recursively grab a list of recently modified files under two network drives, sort them in descending date order, and make some edits to the CSV file to tidy the list for Excel
I have cobbled the code below from a number of sources (I am a powershell beginner) and it is now doing what I need (i.e. producing a list).
I need help in going a step further, I cannot sort the resultant CSV file by file last write time date, is this because my array is expecting text rather than a numeric field?
I also am returning the domain name as well as the file owner with ((Get-ACL $_.FullName).Owner). I tried using Replace to cut down the string, but had no luck with this approach.
$arr = #()
$days_to_check=$(Get-Date).AddDays(-28)
$items = #(Get-ChildItem '\\ND\dir 1\*.*' -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | where { $_.LastWriteTime -gt $days_to_check})
$items += #(Get-ChildItem '\\ND\dir 1\*.*' -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
where { $_.LastWriteTime -gt $days_to_check})
$items | Foreach {
$obj = New-Object PSObject -prop $hash
$obj | Add-Member NoteProperty FullName $_.FullName
$obj | Add-Member NoteProperty Directory $_.Directory
$obj | Add-Member NoteProperty Name $_.Name
$obj | Add-Member NoteProperty LastTime $_.LastWriteTime
$obj | Add-Member NoteProperty Owner ((Get-ACL $_.FullName).Owner)
$arr += $obj
}
$arr | Format-List
$arr | Sort-Object -Property LastTime -Descending
$arr | Export-CSV -notypeinformation C:\temp\filenamesFO.csv
CSV file sorted by date field
You did sort your array in the output but that's all you did.
If you want to actually export it that way, you have to assign the sort to $arr
Replace
$arr | Sort-Object -Property LastTime -Descending
with
$arr = $arr | Sort-Object -Property LastTime -Descending
You can remove the Owner domain using the following Replace -replace '(.*\\)(.*)','$2'
Here's a complete example implementing the changes mentionned above.
$arr = new-object -TypeName 'System.Collections.Generic.List[PSObject]'
$days_to_check=$(Get-Date).AddDays(-28)
$items = #(Get-ChildItem '\\ND\dir 1\*.*' -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | where { $_.LastWriteTime -gt $days_to_check})
$items += #(Get-ChildItem '\\ND\dir 1\*.*' -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
where { $_.LastWriteTime -gt $days_to_check})
Foreach ($item in $items) {
$obj = [PSCustomObject]#{
FullName = $item.FullName
Directory = $item.Directory
Name = $item.Name
LastTime = $item.LastWriteTime
Owner = (Get-ACL $item.FullName).Owner -replace '(.*\\)(.*)','$2'
}
$arr.add($obj)
}
$arr = $arr | Sort-Object -Property LastTime -Descending
#$arr | Format-List
$arr | Export-CSV -notypeinformation C:\temp\filenamesFO.csv
I made some additional changes:
Instead of using an array, I used a List of PSObject. If you have a lot of files, the processing time will be improved in comparison with an array.
I used the PSCustomObject declaration just to show an alternative to all those Add-member. I find it cleaner but it is up to you in the end.

Export-CSV only gets the "Length"

when I try to export to a CSV list, I only get all number for "Length"
.Count property until the split point is reached, then split the CSV array to a new file with a new name that will be used from this point on. What might be the issue?
$RootFolder = Get-Content "c:\DRIVERS\myfile.txt"
foreach ($arrayOfPaths in $RootFolder){
$csv = $arrayofPaths -replace '^\\\\[^\\]+\\([^\\]+)\\([^\\]+).*', 'C:\output\Company_name_${1}_${2}.csv'
$csvIndex = 1
$maxRows = 1000000
$rowsLeft = $maxRows
Get-ChildItem $arrayOfPaths -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.mode -match "d"} | ForEach-Object {
#$csv = $_.FullName -replace '^\\\\[^\\]+\\([^\\]+)\\([^\\]+).*', 'C:\output\Company_name_${1}_${2}.csv'# <- construct CSV path here
$path = $_.FullName
$thisCSV = Get-Acl $path | Select-Object -Expand Access |
Select-Object #{n='Path';e={$path}}, IdentityReference, AccessControlType,
FileSystemRights |
ConvertTo-Csv
if ($thisCSV.count -lt $rowsLeft) {
$thisCSV | Export-Csv $csv -append -noType
$rowsLeft -= $thisCSV.count
} else {
$thisCSV[0..($rowsLeft - 1)] | Export-Csv $csv -append -noType
$csvIndex++
$csv = $csv -replace '\.csv$', "$csvIndex.csv"
if ($thisCSV.count -gt $rowsLeft) {
$thisCSV[$rowsLeft..($thisCSV.count - 1)] | Export-Csv $csv -append -noType
}
$rowsLeft = $maxRows - ($thisCSV.count - $rowsLeft)
}
}
}
Export-CSV is built to take PSCustomObjects as input, not lines of text.
$thisCSV = Get-Acl $path | Select-Object -Expand Access |
Select-Object #{n='Path';e={$path}}, IdentityReference, AccessControlType,
FileSystemRights |
ConvertTo-Csv
The output of this line will be something like:
#TYPE Selected.System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule
"Path","IdentityReference","AccessControlType","FileSystemRights"
"c:\test","BUILTIN\Administrators","Allow","FullControl"
At least three lines, an array of string. What properties does an array of string have?
PS C:\> 'a','b' | Get-Member -MemberType Property
TypeName: System.String
Name MemberType Definition
---- ---------- ----------
Length Property int Length {get;}
Length. The only property you see in the CSV, because Export-CSV is exporting all the properties, and that's the only property.
Fix: Remove | ConvertTo-CSV from the Get-ACL line, leave your custom objects as custom objects and let the export handle converting them.
(This should also fix the counting, because it's not counting 3+ lines of text while trying to export 1+ line of data every time).

how to format data acquired using powershell import-csv

I imported a csv file using import-csv. I only wanted the account number from the list.
I used
$Numbers = Import-Csv csv.csv |Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'Account Number' |Where-Object {$_ -ne "0"} | Out-Null
but i want enclose the account number with "'" and separate the account number with ",". Ideally the list should look like: 'account1','account2',...,'accountlast'. I could not manipulate the $ number variable like array.
Some string manipulation and a -join should be able to get this for you. Although an array which is returned from Import-Csv csv.csv | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'Account Number' | Where-Object {$_ -ne "0"} would be considered more versatile!
$numbers = "'{0}'" -f ((Import-Csv csv.csv | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'Account Number' | Where-Object {$_ -ne "0"}) -join "','")
Join the account numbers with ',' and then we use the format operator to enclose that into the outer single quotes.
You are very close. You can import the csv, select the object, then use a foreach to format each object, and finally write to the host with one line instead of breaks for each.
Import-Csv csv.csv | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'Account Number' | Where-Object {$_ -ne "0"} | ForEach{"'" + $_ + "', "} | Write-Host -NoNewLine
