    Hi,

    I need to create a csv file from a txt file. However it is not working. 

    "Count,TestID" | Set-Content C:\VPS\TRH_Report.csv
foreach ($s1 in Get-Content C:\VPS\TRH_Report.txt)
{
        $s1 | Add-Content C:\VPS\temp1.txt
        (gc C:\VPS\temp1.txt) | sc C:\VPS\temp1.txt
        (get-content C:\VPS\temp1.txt) | add-content C:\VPS\TRH_Report_Final.csv
        remove-item C:\VPS\temp1.txt
}

    TRH_Report.txt The txt file looks something like this. 

    Count,TestID                                                                   

    -----------------------------------------------

    81,007601                                                                       
    21,004120

     Export-Csv -Path C:\VPS\newfile_1.csv –NoTypeInformation

    Assuming you are telling us the true contents of the text file do this:

    Get-Content C:\VPS\TRH_Report.txt |
    ?{$_ -notmatch '--------'} |
    Out-File newfile.csv

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    This might be better because it also removes any extra spaces:

    Import-Csv C:\VPS\TRH_Report.txt |
     Where-Object{$_.Count -notmatch '----'} |
     export-csv newfile.csv -notype

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Hi Jrv,

    I am seeing the following message, when I try to run it.

    PS C:\VPS> Import-Csv C:\VPS\TRH_Report.txt |
         {$_.Count -notmatch '----'} |
         export-csv newfile.csv -notype
    Expressions are only allowed as the first element of a pipeline.
    At line:2 char:34

    Thanks,

    That's missing the Where-Object alias ?. Put that back in at the beginning of the second line.

    That is an issue with the editor.  I copied and pasted it from and to the screen.  Characters disappear mostly at the beginning of lines.  Try putting a $ at the beginning and copy and past.  Half of the time the $ disappears.

    I fixed the missing ? - Thanks Mike.

    Hi Jrv,

    That seems to have worked. Now I need to export only those TestID's where Count greater than 1000. I am running the following command. However the new file does not have any data. I have checked the newfile.csf and it has all the data.

    Import-Csv 'C:\VPS\newfile.csv' | Where-Object {[int]$_.Count -gt 1000} | Export-Csv -Path C:\VPS\newfile_1.csv –NoTypeInformation
    Thanks

    No problem.  You were 90% there from the beginning.
