Grouping objects on the property in PowerShell












4















I would like the Application and ShortcutName columns to be grouped into one column, while keeping the Version and Architecture columns as they are :





$object | Select-Object -Property Application, Version, Architecture, ShortcutName |
Sort-Object -Property @{expression="Architecture";Descending=$true},Application |
Out-GridView


How can I do that ?

          In PowerShell you group objects by properties with Group-Object. What you want is not grouping in that sense, but defining a new custom property.



          You create custom properties a hashtable with the Name and Expression keys.



          Something like this will probably do the trick.



          $Expression = {
          if ($_.Application) {
          $_.Application
          }
          else {
          $_.Shortcut
          }
          }

          $object |
          Select-Object -Property @{ Name = 'Application'; Expression = $Expression }, Version, Architecture |
          Sort-Object -Property @{expression="Architecture";Descending=$true},Application |
          Out-GridView


          The expression checks whether the Application property is filled. If so, it will use the existing application name, otherwise it will take the Shortcut property as application name.

          • The Application property is always filled. I don't want substitute the Application property with the Shortcut property but have one column with the content of this 2 properties.
