Need help Manipulating powershell output

I am using powershell to connect to a list of remote hosts and then retrieving the lun information via vender utility and then sending it to a text
file on the local machine I am running powershell from.

The text file will have all of the Target and lun information for all of the hosts that the script was run against.
The output looks like the following

Host : Host1
IP : 10.10.10.10
DnsCacheHit : True
Success : True
ExecTime : 00
Message : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Host Name : host1
OS Type : Microsoft
OS Version : Service Pack
SDM API Version : 44

This output lists targets. If a target has luns they will be shown right after the target is displayed. See how target 7 has no luns but target 8 and 9 do.

The Target and lun list will continue until the next host is listed. and then repeat for the next host what is listed above or more if it has more luns/targets

There will be additional host information listed then Lun and target info

My end goal is to pull only host,target,lun,wwuln,node name,port name info and put it into another text file or just only get that info to begin with.

The final output will be in a table looking like

Hostname Target Node name port name lun wwuln
host1 8 00-11-22-33-44-55-66-77 22-33-44-55-66-77-88-99 0 11-11-11-11
host1 8 00-11-22-33-44-55-66-77 22-33-44-55-66-77-88-99 1 22-22-22-22
host1 9 00-11-22-33-44-55-66-77 22-33-44-55-66-77-88-99 2 33-33-33-33-33
host2 1 00-11-22-33-44-55-66-77 22-33-44-55-66-77-88-99 1 44-44-44-44-44

Is this possible? Anyone know a way?

$commandoutput = get-content c:\test.txt

Trying get-content c:\test.txt as my command and getting

Method invocation failed because [System.Object[]] doesn't contain a method named 'Split'.At c:\test.txt

I also run into New-Object : Cannot find type [PSCustomObject]: make sure the assembly containing this type is loaded.

peter_field

Ahh, sorry, I wrote this in PowerShell v2.. change PSCustomObject to PSObject and it should run.

dmc2084

ASKER

Made the change to PSObject and its working good so far, doing a little more testing.
Thank you so very much. I will replay today with the results.

What would be the best way to output to a file comma separated from $results | ft Hostname, Target, NodeName, PortName, WWULN?

dmc2084

ASKER

Figured it out

did $results | select-object hostname,target | export-csv
