Help working with CSV files

Question

I have a CSV file with 3 columns
Jobtitles-----ADRole1----- AdRole2
title1---------Role1---------Role4
title2---------Role2---------Role5
title2---------Role3--------Role6
And i also have a list of Active Directory Users in other variable $users.
I need to get the AD users which jobtitle match the ones in the first column of the csv "jobtitles"
I do it like:
import-module activedirectory
$csv2= Import-Csv e:\mycsv.csv | Select-Object JobTitles
$Jobtitles = @()
foreach ($line in $csv2) {
$Jobtitles += $line.title
$users = foreach ($user in $result){
get-aduser $user.loginname -properties title, samaccountname
foreach ($User in $Users) {
if ($Jobtitles -contains $User.title) {
write-host $User.samaccountname $User.title
This works fine.
What i don't know how to do is reference the same row in the csv
For example if the user jobtitle matches title1, add the user to the AD group Role1 and Role4 (because it is in the same row as those roles)
Any idea?
thanks

Answer 1

In the second line in your script, the " | select-object jobTitles" causes only the data from the jobTitles column in the .CSV file to be included in the array of objects stored in the $csv2 variable. If you avoid doing that, then all of the data from the
.CSV file will be present in $CSV.
But I don't think the code as shown "works fine". In the first foreach statement, your code references a property called .title, whereas the only property in $csv would appear to be .jobTitles. But, if it had been coded correctly, this would be a wasted
step, as it seems only intended to create another array of "title" values, which you already have in $csv2.
then the second foreach processes data in an undefined array called $result.
With these issues, it is a little difficult to determine what actually happens in the following code.
I'd suggest you give it another try then copy/paste the complete code for us to comment on.
