Powershell Filter Data and Copy Data to new .csv file

Lakshmana

How to filter data and copy the selective data to the new .csv according to our need ?

Any powershell commands is there ?

I have .csv file with the content of Sl.No ,User details ,login id and i need to filter the login id and then copy to new .csv file

Is that possible to do by powershell?

I use Foreach loop and pass the value to an Array if it meeds if() criteria. Then output the $true result back to the same CSV. I'll post the code later today.

Edit: can you post your csv data? Other wise I'll give you my data which has 4 column

Edit2: Also, for my script to works you need to manually change the if() statement manually each run. Easier to use Powershell ISE or any other powershell IDE. If you want to make it fancy then a custom textbox to return the value you are looking for is not a bad idea.

~~Hmmm.. I don't know how to post code here.~~

$csvFile = ".\etc.csv" #dummy file. Change it to whereevery your file is at.
$csvImport = Import-Csv $csvFile

# Create Array for Exporting out data
$csvArray = "" #this clear for testing purpose. But it works in production environment as well.. so I didn't bother to remove it.
$csvArray = [System.Collections.ArrayList]@()

# Entry count
$lineCounter = 1

# Foreach Loop
Foreach ($csvImportedItem in $csvImport){
$lineCounter++ #this let me know which line in the entry is the problem.
$importedName = $csvImportedItem.Name
$importedID = $csvImportedItem.ID
$importedDept = $csvImportedItem.Department
$importedNote = $csvImportedItem.Note
if($importedNote -eq "C"){
$csvArray += $csvImportedItem
"[$lineCounter] $importedName $importedID $importedDept $importedNote`n" #For outputing result. Testing purpose
$csvImportedItem #For outputing result. Testing purpose


}
}
$csvArray #For outputing result before exporting to new CSV
#$csvArray | Export-Csv $NEWPATH -NoTypeInformation #destinate new path.

You mean send mail using whatever the data in the CSV is?

$SmtpServer = "smtp.com"
$SmtpServerPort = "25 or 587"
$SmtpFrom = "[email protected]"
$SmtpTo = "[email protected]"
$SmtpBody = "$csvArray"
$SmtpSubject = "Subject"

Send-MailMessage -SmtpServer $SmtpServer -Port $SmtpServerPort -From $SmtpFrom -To $SmtpTo -subject $SmtpSubject -body $SmtpBody

You should look more into technet articles. There are plenty of guide, tips and tricks, etc.

use " "
So

$importedID = $csvImportedItem.ID

becomes

$importedID = $csvImportedItem."ticket id"

Keep the variable simple and easy to understand.
