Working two Array PowerShell - arrays

Question

I have two arrays: array1 [POP1, POP2, POP3 .... POP30] and array2 [61,61,62 ... 61]. I need to create a new object with value 62 and its POP.
In this example:
POP3 62.
I am simplifying the explanation because I've already been able to get the value from the database.
Can someone help me?
Code:
$target = #( )
$ini = 0 | foreach {
$apiurl = "http://xxxxxxxxx:8080/fxxxxp/events_xxxx.xml"
[xml]$ini = (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).downloadstring($apiurl)
$target = $ini.events.event.name
$nodename = $target
$target = $ini.events.event.statuscode
$statuscode = $target
}
$column1 = #($nodename)
$column2 = #($statuscode)
$i = 0
($column1,$column2)[0] | foreach {
New-Object PSObject -Property #{
POP = $Column1[$i]
Status = $column2[$i++]
} | ft -AutoSize

I really couldn't figure out what you were trying to do, but you definitely over complicated it. Here is what I thought of your code:
# Here you have an empty array
$target = #( )
# Here you set call a Foreach, but you don't even need it
$ini = 0 | foreach {
$apiurl = "http://xxxxxxxxx:8080/fxxxxp/events_xxxx.xml"
[xml]$ini = (new-object System.Net.WebClient).downloadstring($apiurl)
# You duplicated variables here. Just set $nodename = $ini.events.event.name
$target = $ini.events.event.name
$nodename = $target
# You duplicate variables here. Just set $statuscode = $ini.events.event.name
$target = $ini.events.event.statuscode
$statuscode = $target
}
# You should already have arrays, so now you're making making more arrays duplicating variables again
$column1 = #($nodename)
$column2 = #($statuscode)
# counter, but you won't need it
$i = 0
# So here, youre making a new array again, but this contains two nested arrays. I don't get it.
($column1,$column2)[0] | foreach {
New-Object PSObject -Property #{
POP = $Column1[$i]
Status = $column2[$i++]
} | ft -AutoSize
} # You were missing a closing bracket for your foreach loop
Here is a solution that should probable work for you:
# Download the file
$apiurl = "http://xxxxxxxxx:8080/fxxxxp/events_xxxx.xml"
[xml]$ini = (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString($apiurl)
# Set arrays
$nodename = $ini.events.event.name
$statuscode = $ini.events.event.statuscode
# Create $TableValues by looping through one array
$TableValues = foreach ( $node in $nodename )
{
[pscustomobject] #{
# The current node
POP = $node
# use the array method IndexOf
# This should return the position of the current node
# Then use that index to get the matching value of $statuscode
Status = $statuscode[$nodename.IndexOf($node)]
}
}
# Add a custom value
$TableValues += [pscustomobject] #{
POP = 'POP100'
Status = 100
}
$TableValues | Format-Table -AutoSize

Answer 2

Assuming that your intent is to create an array of custom objects constructed from the pairs of corresponding elements of 2 arrays of the same size:
A concise pipeline-based solution (PSv3+; a for / foreach solution would be faster):
$arr1 = 'one', 'two', 'three'
$arr2 = 1, 2, 3
0..$($arr1.Count-1) | % { [pscustomobject] #{ POP = $arr1[$_]; Status = $arr2[$_] } }
This yields:
POP Status
--- ------
one 1
two 2
three 3
