Storing and reading objects in to objects or array - arrays

Question

I need to create VEEAM Replication jobs. When creating the job I need to provide a list of SourceNetworks and matching TargetNetworks. I have a CSV file that has the matching list in text and then I run a cmdlet to retrieve the matching network object.
CSV:
SourcePortGroup, TargetPortGroup
VLAN 103,LAN0_DMZ
VLAN 120,LAN0_JDE
VLAN 121,LAN0_IT-BDC
I wrote a foreach in which I retrieve the network object using:
foreach ($item in $csvlist) {
Get-VBRServer -Name $SourceESXi | Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo | Where-Object {
$_.NetworkName -eq $Mapping.SourcePortGroup
}
Get-VBRServer -Name $TargetESXi | Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo | Where-Object {
$_.NetworkName -eq $Mapping.TargetPortGroup
}
}
This works when debugging, I get the correct result, which is an object. But now I need to store each of them in a new object or in an array, so that later on when creating the job I can easily use the source and target mapping.
I have no clue on what the best way is to store the results and then call them when needed.

Assuming that each Get-VBRServer statement produces only a single item per iteration you could for example use a hashtable for mapping source to target networks:
$networks = #{}
foreach ($item in $csvlist) {
$key = '{0}/{1}' -f
$networks[$key] = #{
'Source' = Get-VBRServer -Name $SourceESXi |
Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo |
Where-Object { $_.NetworkName -eq $Mapping.SourcePortGroup }
'Target' = Get-VBRServer -Name $TargetESXi |
Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo |
Where-Object { $_.NetworkName -eq $Mapping.TargetPortGroup }
}
}
