Append to CSV in PowerShell?

I'd like to find a way to append to an outputted csv file in Powershell. Out-File has too much wasted space and duplicate lines. Here's the script I'm trying to run:
$a=Get-Content users.txt
foreach ($i in $a)
get-user $i | select displayname,samaccountname | Export-Csv output.csv -notype
I can't seem to find anything when dealing with an input file... Thx.

Something like this
Param($File)
$csvObjects = import-csv $file
$NewCSVObject = @()
foreach ($item in $csvObjects)
$NewCSVObject += $item | Add-Member -name "NewPropertyName" -value "NewValue" -MemberType NoteProperty
$NewCSVObject | export-csv $File -noType

Add Column to an existing CSV using powershell

Hi Everyone,
I am horribly stuck in building a logic of how can i add a column with certain details in an existing CSV using powershell. I tried many things one of the code is posted below.
The situation is , I have a Folder path ' D:\Exclusion\Final1' it contains a list of CSV's that looks like below:
preprocessed1.csv
CI,Environment
vm-Serv1,Test
preprocessed2.csv
CI,Environment
vm-bkp1,Prod
and so on with same structure..
Then I have another CSV that Contains certain list of Patches and Title
looks like:
Master_Exclusion.csv
Title, Patch
xyz, KB23109
abc, KB432344
yyy, KB321221
What I am Trying to do is to Copy the Column 'Patch' from here and copy them to all the CSVs present at ' D:\Exclusion\Final1'
and the output would look like :
preprocessed1.csv
CI ,Environment , Patch
vm-Serv1, Test ,KB23109
KB432344
KB321221
CI,Environment,Patch
vm-bkp1,Prod, ,KB23109
KB432344
KB321221
$filepathex=Get-ChildItem D:\Exclusion\Final1
foreach($fileex in $filepathex)
$exclusion=Import-Csv D:\Exclusion\Master_Exclusion.csv
$list=Import-Csv D:\Exclusion\Final1\$fileex
$list |
Select-Object *,@{Name='Patch';Expression={$exclusion.Patch}}} |
Export-Csv D:\Exclusion\Split2\$fileex -Append -NoTypeInformation
Thanks in Advance for any help or suggestions.

I am extremely sorry for the confusions , actually I am trying to just add a new column named "Patch" to a a list of existing CSV's . the patch column is present in another CSV i need to append it to the list of CSV's
Like
existing csv:
CI,Environment
vm-serv,Test
and another CSV is
Master_Exclusion.csv
Title,Patch
xyz,kb084932
yrx,KB893748
trw,kb949298
The output would be :
output.csv
CI,Environment ,Patch
vm-serv,Test,kb084932
KB893748
kb949298

External Table which can handle appending multiple csv files dynamic

I need an external table which can handle appending multiple csv files' values.
But the problem I am having is : the number of csv files are not fixed.
I can have between 2 to 6-7 files with the suffix as current_date. Lets say it will be like my_file1_aug_08_1.csv, my_file1_aug_08_2.csv, my_file1_aug_08_3.csv etc. and so on.
I can do it by following as hardcoding if I know the number of files, but unfortunately the number is not fixed and need to something dynamically to inject with a wildcard search of file pattern.
CREATE TABLE my_et_tbl
my_field1 varchar2(4000),
my_field2 varchar2(4000)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
     DEFAULT DIRECTORY my_et_dir
     ACCESS PARAMETERS
       ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
        FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
        MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL )
     LOCATION (UTL_DIR:'my_file2_5_aug_08.csv','my_file2_5_aug_08.csv')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED

How to append two CSV files using ftp

Hi
Please let me know the FTP command to append the two .CSV files into one .CSV file.
e.g.
Let me explain:
one CSV file has the fields F1 , F2, F3 , F4 and has 5 records
another CSV file has the same sequence of fields F1, F2, F3, F4 and has 10 records
after appending both the files , I must get 15 records.
Thanks
Alok

Ok I will try out.
I am illustrating my requirement as follow
File#1 (type .CSV)
F1     F2     F3     F4
100   566    89     86
235   256    56     12
File#2 (type .CSV)
F1     F2     F3     F4
56     56     98     102
12     23     36      523
23      56     56    89
Now we want to Append File#1 to File#2 as follow:
F1    F2    F3     F4
100   566    89     86
235   256    56     12
56     56     98     102
12     23     36      523
23      56     56    89
Please suggest now that which command would be appropiate.

Appending a csv column exported from Active Directory

Hi Guys
We have a new access control system. The DB of the control system needs to be updated with new people from Active Directory. It has an import tool to this. I want to automate it to do it every hour. So I started writing a powershell script to export any
users that have changed in the last day. Here is what I have so far:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties * | Where {$_.Modified -ge $(Get-Date).AddDays(-1)} | select rcscardcode | Export-Csv -path C:\Users\johncolfer\Desktop\TempStuff\Active-dir\export12.csv
So as you can see I have selected a property "rcscardcode". It is a custom attribute in AD. An example of 1 of these numbers in the exported csv file is "1141410511000000" I need to be able to change this number to "1141410511"
and all subsequent numbers in that column of the csv file. Is this possible?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
John

Still no joy:
I changed a property for a test account in AD which is a standard attribute. So I changed the "company" attribute to "987654321000000" in attribute editor. I then ran the following
Get-ADUser-Identitygoofy-Properties*|select
company|%{
$_.company=$_.company.Substring(0,10)
} |Export-Csv-pathC:\Users\johncolfer\Desktop\TempStuff\Active-dir\export1342.csv-NoType
It ran ok, but there was nothing in the exported CSV. I was hoping to see 1 column with a value of "987654321"

Applescript: filenames from folder to append to csv

For my bookkeeping I need to scan and store my receipts as a PDF file, but transfer some information (like amount and category) to an Numbers (Excel)-sheet as well. I'm using TextExpender to include al information needed for the Numberssheet inside the filename, which looks something like this:
UIT4,20130401,23,categoryA,.pdf
I want to transfer all the pdf-filenames in the folder to append to a csv file, so I get:
test.csv
UIT4,201304001,23,categoryA
UIT5,201305002,25,categoryB
UIT2,201306001,22,categoryA
etc.
I can import the csv in Numbers and all is well.
My question for you is how can I use applescript to get all the pdf-filenames in a folder to append to a csv-file?
I've tried this modified script by Pierre L, but I get a error regarding the ending of the file??
set theFolder to choose folder
set theTextFile to POSIX file "/Users/user_name/Desktop/test.csv" -- for example
set theText to read theTextFile
tell application "Finder"
    set theFileNames to name of files of theFolder whose name extension is "pdf"
    repeat with thisName in theFileNames
        try
            set xx to (text 1 through 2 of thisName) as integer
            set theNewFileName to paragraph (xx + 1) of theText
            if character 3 of thisName is "-" then
                set theNewFileName to theNewFileName & character 4 of thisName
            end if
            set name of file thisName of theFolder to theNewFileName & ".pdf"
        end try
    end repeat
end tell
If you'd like to help out, that would be great!

Or perhaps you could write the replacement for "_" into ";" in the Applescript itself.
That's pretty easy using AppleScript - that way you could leave the file names intact and just change them before writing the data to the file. There are several ways of doing this and, unless you really want, I won't delve deep into the process of using text item delimiters, but an example script is below.
- the script lets me choose a folder in a dialog box, is it also possible to direct it to a pre-specified folder?
Of course. The first line is the one that triggers the Choose Folder dialog:
set theFolder to (choose folder)
You can just change this to any folder on disk by providing its path:
set theFolder to "Macintosh HD:Users:username:Desktop:My folder"
and making sure you tell the Finder that this represents a folder path:
          set theFiles to every file of folder theFolder whose name extension is "pdf"
(note the addition of the 'folder' keyword.
- is it possible to let the script create a new CSV-file named OUT4_[current date].csv?
Yes, but....
The third line in the script creates the output file.
          set csvFile to open for access (file ((path to desktop as text) & "my.csv")) with write permission
You can call it whatever you like - replace 'my.csv' with the desired file name. Just be careful in putting formatted dates into filenames since characters like the '/' in '11/24/2013' will be confusing since the / is used as a directory delimiter ('11/24/2013' would normally indicate the file called '2013' inside the '24' folder that is inside the '11' folder). Date formatting in AppleScript can be tricky, but its certainly do-able. How do you want it formatted?
Revised script that incorporates replacing underscores with commas:
set theFolder to "Macintosh HD:Users:you:Desktop:Some folder"
tell application "Finder"
          set csvFile to open for access (file ((path to desktop as text) & "my.csv")) with write permission
set eof csvFile to 0 -- remove this line to append data
          set theFiles to every file of folder theFolder whose name extension is "pdf"
          repeat with eachFile in theFiles
                    set fn to name of eachFile
                    set csvData to my replaceChars(fn, "_", ",")
write (csvData & return) as text to csvFile
          end repeat
close access csvFile
end tell
on replaceChars(inputFileName, oldChar, newChar)
          set {tid, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, oldChar}
          set newfilename to text items of inputFileName
          set my text item delimiters to newChar
          set newfilename to newfilename as text
          set my text item delimiters to tid
          return newfilename
end replaceChars

Remove specif rows in a CSV with Powershell

Hi All,
I have the following script which tells me if an account is in AD, disabled or not present:-
$users = Import-Csv c:\migration\batches\AWTESTFILES\awtestfiles.csv
foreach($u in $users){
$Name = $u.name
$User = Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(sAMAccountName=$Name)"
If (($User -ne $Null) -and ($user.enabled-eq $False)){
# $outfile = (Join-Path $destination $errfilename)
Write-Host "$name is Disabled" -fore red
if ($User -eq $null){
Write-Host "$Name is not in Active Directory" -ForegroundColor Yellow
# $Name = "$($u.name) is not in Active Directory "
# Add-Content $outfile -Value $Name
If (($User -ne $null) -and ($User.enabled -eq $true)){
Write-Host "$name is in Active Directory and Enabled" -fore green
If the account is disabled or not present I wan to remove the entry from the csv file so that they are not migrated.
What is the easiest way to do this?
I know how to call up excel and manipulate some data but I'm not sure how to delete a specific row base on the name
TIA
Andy

Hi Andy,
I'd test the users in your input file and then create a new output file that only contains the enabled users. Are you able to use a second file or do you have to update the original?

How to get Document Set property values in a SharePoint library in to a CSV file using Powershell

Hi,
How to get Document Set property values in a SharePoint library into a CSV file using Powershell?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
AA.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to you want to get document set property value in a SharePoint library and then export into a CSV file using PowerShell.
I suggest you can get the document sets properties like the PowerShell Command below:
[system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
$siteurl="http://sp2013sps/sites/test"
$listname="Documents"
$mysite=new-object microsoft.sharepoint.spsite($siteurl)
$myweb=$mysite.openweb()
$list=$myweb.lists[$listname]
foreach($item in $list.items)
if($item.contenttype.name -eq "Document Set")
if($item.folder.itemcount -eq 0)
write-host $item.title
Then you can use Export-Csv PowerShell Command to export to a CSV file.

Help appending how many times an event ID has occurred next to the unique Event ID.

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to find how many times an event occurred and then append that next to the single -unique Event ID.
The closest I can find is the Sort-Object Count but I can't figure out how to get that work within the below script.
Any help would be appreciated, the below script works already. but just doesn't have that Event ID count.
Thank you for any help.
Below is the
script to pull all Event Logs for each server, filter them to only display Warnings, Failures, and FailureAudits for Application, System, and Security logs and then remove all duplicate EventIDs so only 1 of each is shown. it then exports that info into a
.CSV per server.
param([string]$days= "31" )
$servers = @("Server1", "Server2" "Server3", "Etc")
$user = Get-Credential
#Set namespace and calculate the date to start from
$namespace = "root\CIMV2"
$BeginDate=[System.Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter]::ToDMTFDateTime((get-date).AddDays(-$days))
$store = "C:\Powershell\MonthlyMaintenance"
foreach ($computer in $servers)
$filter="TimeWritten >= '$BeginDate' AND (type='Warning' OR type='Error' OR type='FailureAudit')"
Echo "Pulling Event Logs for $computer ..."
Get-WmiObject Win32_NTLogEvent -computername $computer -Filter $filter |

Unfortunately adding that to the script just outputs a bunch of jargon:

I did try adding it in various ways and removing the initial # Sort EventCode -unique | # and I just get the same jargon
Am I adding it in wrong some how?
Thank you again for any help.

Bulk Create Users from CSV: Error: "Put": "There is no such object on the server."?

Hi,
I'm using the below PowerShell script, by @hicannl which I found on the MS site, for bulk creating users from a CSV file.
I've had to edit it a bit, adding some additional user fields, and removing others, and changing the sAMAccount name from first initial + lastname, to firstname.lastname. However now when I run it, I get an error saying:
"[ERROR] Oops, something went wrong: The following exception occurred while retrieving member "Put": "There is no such object on the server."
The account is created in the default OU, with the correct firstname.lastname format, but then it seems to error at setting the "Set an ExtensionAttribute" section. However I can't see why!
Any help would be appreciated!

Powershell output results log

Hi guys.
I have a question and do not know if you can
help me.
I do not know much about Powershell,
but I created a script that disables,
moves and changes the description of dismissed
enterprise users through the registration number
(POBOX in my case).
The question is would you like to generate a log
each time this script was executed,
stating whether or not the actions were
performed successfully.
Tested
with some examples I found on Technet
but did not work.
Does anyone havea hint howcan I includethis functionalityin my script?
$csvFile = ".\list.csv"
$disabledUsersOU = "<OU DESTINATION>"
Import-Csv $csvFile | ForEach {
$f = $_.POBox;
Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} | Disable-ADAccount
Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} | Set-ADUser -Description "Disable User Script v4"
Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} | Move-ADObject -TargetPath $disabledUsersOU
$user = Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} -Properties MemberOf
foreach ($group in ($user | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MemberOf))
Remove-ADGroupMember -Identity $group -Members $user -Confirm:$false
Thanks a lot.

You could try something like this:
$csvFile = ".\list.csv"
$disabledUsersOU = "<OU DESTINATION>"
$Results = Import-Csv $csvFile | ForEach {
$f = $_.POBox;
Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} | Disable-ADAccount
Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} | Set-ADUser -Description "Disable User Script v4"
Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} | Move-ADObject -TargetPath $disabledUsersOU
$user = Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} -Properties MemberOf,Description,Enabled
foreach ($group in ($user | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MemberOf))
Remove-ADGroupMember -Identity $group -Members $user -Confirm:$false
$user = Get-ADUser $user -properties MemberOf,POBox,Description
New-Object PSObject -property @{User=$user.samaccountname;POBox=$user.POBox;Description=$user.Description;MemberOf=(($user | select -expand MemberOf) -join ",");Enabled=$user.Enabled;DN=$user.DistinguishedName}
$Results | Select User,POBox,Description,MemberOf,Enabled | Export-CSV ".\results.csv" -NoType
All I really added was to create New-Object for each user and each one gets included in $Results, which gets piped to a csv file. This way you can see what may or may not have succeeded. The alternative is to evaluate each of the values and compare
it to what you expect - if any of them are not what you would expect, then User = fail and instead of the new-object line and having all of the output go to $Results you could do:
Out-File ".\results.log" -InputObject "$($User.sAMAccountName) = FAIL" -append
(or PASS, or SUCCESS, or whatever works). The reason I provided the approach above is that you have a complete picture of the results.
The select in the last line orders the columns in the CSV, otherwise Powershell chooses the order and it isn't usually what you would like.
I hope this post has helped!
