How to add a number at end of username - loops

I need to generate usernames that start with a letter of the alphabet, followed by the date and that ends with numbers from 1 to 20. For a total of 520 names.
Here's the variables I came up with:
$letter = 97..122 | foreach {[char]$_}
$date = get-date -UFormat %a%y%d
$name = $letter | ForEach-Object { $_ + $date }
So I managed to put my letters and my dates together, to form names like aWed1513, which is exactly what I need, but when it comes to make each to end with numbers, I'm stuck. Tried with a For loop by adding incrementing $i to $name, but doesn't work..

It seems like you're just about there. Your for loop should look like this:
$names = #()
$letter = 97..122 | foreach {[char]$_}
$date = get-date -UFormat %a%y%d
for($i = 1; $i -le 20; $i++) {
$names += $letter | ForEach-Object { '{0}{1}{2}' -f $_, $date, $i }
}
$names

An alternate approach to the answer given that just adds another ForEach-Object to the OP's original code:
$letter = 97..122 | foreach {[char]$_}
$date = get-date -UFormat %a%y%d
$names = $letter | ForEach-Object { $_ + $date } | ForEach-Object { for($i=1;$i -le 20;$i++) { $_ + $i } }
And to shorten to get same result:
$letter = 97..122 | foreach {[char]$_}
$date = get-date -UFormat %a%y%d
$names = $letter | ForEach-Object { for($i=1;$i -le 20;$i++) { $_ + $date + $i } }

Powershell script for reporting old folders on multiple shares

I am hoping for some guidance. I need to analyze multiple shares for folders that have not been modified in 6 months. For each share, I defined specific paths that need to be examined. A csv should be generated for each share. The powershell script works fine for checking a single share but I can't get it work correctly for multiple shares. Here's a sample of the script.
$age = (Get-Date).AddMonths(-6)
# Export path
$outputPath = "D:\Scripting\xPowershell_Results\"
# Export file name
$FilePath1 = "OldMediaPath1.csv"
$FilePath2 = "OldMediaPath2.csv"
# Paths to scan
$CheckPath1 = #(
"\\servername\share1\Projects"
"\\servername\share1\Restored"
)
$CheckPath2 = #(
"\\servername\share2\Graphics"
)
$folders = dir $CheckPath1 | where {$_.PSiscontainer -eq $true} | Where-Object {($_.LastWriteTime -lt $age)}
$results = foreach ($folder in $folders) {
$bytecount = (dir $folder.fullname -recurse | Measure-Object -property length -sum).sum
switch ($bytecount)
{
{$_ -lt 1KB} { $size = "{0:N0} Bytes" -f $_; break }
{$_ -lt 1MB} { $size = "{0:N2} KB" -f ($_ / 1KB); break }
{$_ -lt 1GB} { $size = "{0:N2} MB" -f ($_ / 1MB); break }
{$_ -lt 1TB} { $size = "{0:N2} GB" -f ($_ / 1GB); break }
{$_ -lt 1PB} { $size = "{0:N2} TB" -f ($_ / 1TB); break }
default { $size = "{0:N2} PB" -f ($_ / 1PB) }
}
[PSCustomObject]#{
Name = $folder.fullname
Size = $size
LastWriteTime = $folder.LastWriteTime
}
}
$results | Export-Csv $outputPath$FilePath1 -NoTypeInformation

Slow array operations after DB resultset

I need help optimizing my PowerShell script.
$sorted = #()
$firsttime = 0
$j = 0
$zaehler = $results.Count-1
for ($i=0; $i -le $results.Count-1; $i++) {
$j = $i+1
while ($results.GUID[$i] -eq $results.GUID[$j]) {
$klassen = ""
$rec = $results | where {$_.GUID -eq $results.GUID[$i]}
if ($firsttime -eq 0 -or !$sorted.GUID.contains($rec[0].GUID)) {
$firsttime = 1
foreach ($item in $rec.Klasse) {
if ($klassen -eq "") {
$klassen += $item
} else {
if (!$klassen.Contains($item)) {
$klassen += "," + $item
}
}
}
$rec[0].Klasse = $klassen
$sorted += $rec[0]
}
$j = $j+1
}
Write-Host ($i/$zaehler).ToString("P") "von Schule" $schule
}
if (!$sorted) {
$results
} else {
$sorted
}
Basically in my resultset ($results) I got duplicate lines of teachers and the only difference is the class ("Klasse/Klassen") they are teaching at.
To minimize the output I am checking if the first GUID is the same as the second and then the script appends the second class to the first one. So the $sorted array has just one line per teacher with a comma-seperated string which shows all classes.
Sample line of $results:
#{
GUID={1234567-1234-1234-1234-1234567};
userrole=teacher;
Vorname=Max;
Nachname=Mustermann;
Geburtstag=01.01.2000;
Klasse=9A;
Schule=123456
}
#{
GUID={1234567-1234-1234-1234-1234567};
userrole=teacher;
Vorname=Max;
Nachname=Mustermann;
Geburtstag=01.01.2000;
Klasse=9B;
Schule=123456
}
Sample line of $sorted[0]:
#{
GUID={1234567-1234-1234-1234-1234567};
userrole=teacher;
Vorname=Max;
Nachname=Mustermann;
Geburtstag=01.01.2000;
Klasse=9A,9B,9C,5A;
Schule=123456
}
The sorting process (check if contains, foreach $item, add to $klassen) is pretty slow.
I would be very grateful for any kind of ideas how to optimize the script.
Maybe something like this would work:
$results | ForEach-Object {
New-Object -Type PSObject -Property $_
} | Group-Object GUID | ForEach-Object {
$teacher = $_.Group
$teacher | Select-Object -First 1 -Exclude Klasse -Property *, #{n='Klasse';e={
$teacher | Select-Object -Expand Klasse
}}
}
Convert your hashtables into custom objects, group them by GUID, then replace the original "Klasse" property with a new one containing an array of the values from all objects in that group, and select the first result.
Should $results already be a list of objects you can skip the first ForEach-Object:
$results | Group-Object GUID | ForEach-Object {
$teacher = $_.Group
$teacher | Select-Object -First 1 -Exclude Klasse -Property *, #{n='Klasse';e={
$teacher | Select-Object -Expand Klasse
}}
}

ForEach loop not producing the desired result

I have written a script to Identify a timestamp in a logfile:
$start = Get-Content "C:\Webserverlogfiles\ise*.log" | select -first 1 -skip 6
$end -match '(([0-9][0-9]:){2}([0-9][0-9]))'
$end = $Matches[1]
$start -match '(([0-9][0-9]:){2}([0-9][0-9]))'
$start = $Matches[1]
$TimeDiff = New-TimeSpan $end $start
if ($TimeDiff.Seconds -lt 0) {
$Hrs = ($TimeDiff.Hours) + 23
$Mins = ($TimeDiff.Minutes) + 59
$Secs = ($TimeDiff.Seconds) + 59 }
else {
$Hrs = $TimeDiff.Hours
$Mins = $TimeDiff.Minutes
$Secs = $TimeDiff.Seconds }
$refreshrate = '{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}' -f $Hrs,$Mins,$Secs
echo $refreshrate
This returns the result I am after which is the timespan between each refresh.
Now I am trying to expand on this so it loops through the whole file. And so far my script just hangs.
$Workfrom = Get-Content "C:\Webserverlogfiles\ise*.log"
Foreach ($Line in (Get-Content $Workfrom)) {
$end = $line | Select-String 'ShowStatus = Reset Status' -SimpleMatch
$end -match '(([0-9][0-9]:){2}([0-9][0-9]))'
$end = $Matches[1]
$start = $line | Select-String 'ShowStatus = Waiting for server ()' -SimpleMatch
$start -match '(([0-9][0-9]:){2}([0-9][0-9]))'
$start = $matches[1]
$TimeDiff = New-TimeSpan $end $start
if ($TimeDiff.Seconds -lt 0) {
$Hrs = ($TimeDiff.Hours) + 23
$Mins = ($TimeDiff.Minutes) + 59
$Secs = ($TimeDiff.Seconds) + 59 }
else {
$Hrs = $TimeDiff.Hours
$Mins = $TimeDiff.Minutes
$Secs = $TimeDiff.Seconds }
$refreshrate = '{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}' -f $Hrs,$Mins,$Secs
echo $refreshrate
}
From what I can tell this is correct unless I have grouped too much into the ForEach loop. Can I ask what I am missing?
change
$Workfrom = Get-Content "C:\Webserverlogfiles\ise*.log"
Foreach ($Line in (Get-Content $Workfrom)
to
$Workfrom = Get-Content "C:\Webserverlogfiles\ise*.log"
Foreach ($Line in $Workfrom) {
$workfrom is already the lines of text. Otherwise, perhaps you meant Get-ChildItem in the first line?

Get all combinations of an array

I'm currently trying to make a function that gets all possible combinations of array values.
I have come up with a non function version but it's limited to 3 values so i'm trying to make a function out of it to become more Dynamic
I tried searching SO but could not find a powershell example of what i was trying to do, i could find a PHP version but i'm very limited in my PHP
PHP: How to get all possible combinations of 1D array?
Non-function Script
$name = 'First','Middle','Last'
$list = #()
foreach ($c1 in $name) {
foreach ($c2 in $name) {
foreach ($c3 in $name) {
if (($c1 -ne $c2) -and ($c2 -ne $c3) -and ($c3 -ne $c1))
{
$list += "$c1 $c2 $c3"
}
}
}
}
This gives me the result
First Middle Last
First Last Middle
Middle First Last
Middle Last First
Last First Middle
Last Middle First
I'm not sure how i would rearrange the values when i'm recursing the function, this is what i have so far:

Here is my solution:
function Remove ($element, $list)
{
$newList = #()
$list | % { if ($_ -ne $element) { $newList += $_} }
return $newList
}
function Append ($head, $tail)
{
if ($tail.Count -eq 0)
{ return ,$head }
$result = #()
$tail | %{
$newList = ,$head
$_ | %{ $newList += $_ }
$result += ,$newList
}
return $result
}
function Permute ($list)
{
if ($list.Count -eq 0)
{ return #() }
$list | %{
$permutations = Permute (Remove $_ $list)
return Append $_ $permutations
}
}
cls
$list = "x", "y", "z", "t", "v"
$permutations = Permute $list
$permutations | %{
Write-Host ([string]::Join(", ", $_))
}
EDIT: the same in one function (Permute). This is cheating a bit, however since I replaced plain functions whith lambdas. You could replace recursive calls with a stack you handle yourself, but that would make the code unecessarily complex ...
function Permute ($list)
{
$global:remove = {
param ($element, $list)
$newList = #()
$list | % { if ($_ -ne $element) { $newList += $_} }
return $newList
}
$global:append = {
param ($head, $tail)
if ($tail.Count -eq 0)
{ return ,$head }
$result = #()
$tail | %{
$newList = ,$head
$_ | %{ $newList += $_ }
$result += ,$newList
}
return $result
}
if ($list.Count -eq 0)
{ return #() }
$list | %{
$permutations = Permute ($remove.Invoke($_, $list))
return $append.Invoke($_, $permutations)
}
}
cls
$list = "x", "y", "z", "t"
$permutations = Permute $list
$permutations | %{
Write-Host ([string]::Join(", ", $_))
}
I tried to learn something new and help you out but Im stuck. maybe this will help you get in the right direction but I dont know enough about Powershell recursion to figure this out. I converted the php to powershell and in theory it should work but it doesnt.
$array = #('Alpha', 'Beta', 'Gamma', 'Sigma')
function depth_picker([system.collections.arraylist]$arr,$temp_string, $collect)
{
if($temp_string -ne ""){$collect += $temp_string}
for($i = 0; $i -lt $arr.count;$i++)
{
[system.collections.arraylist]$arrCopy = $arr
$elem = $arrCopy[$i]
$arrCopy.removeRange($i,1)
if($arrCopy.count -gt 0){
depth_picker -arr $arrCopy -temp_string "$temp_string $elem" -collect $collect}
else{$collect += "$temp_string $elem"}
}
}
$collect = #()
depth_picker -arr $array -temp_string "" -collect $collect
$collect
It seems to work and will get you the first set of possibles:
Alpha
Alpha Beta
Alpha Beta Gamma
Alpha Beta Gamma Sigma
But for some reason that I cant figure out when it gets back to the previous functions and does $i++ then checks ($i -lt $arr.count) $arr.count it always 0 so it never goes to the next iteration to continue finding the possibilities.
Hopefully someone else can fix what I cant seem to figure out as I dont know enough about recursion. But it seems that with each level of depth called the previous depth level $arr variable and values is lost.
Here is my solution with a recursive function. It generates space separated strings but it's quite simple to split each element with $list[$i].split(" "):
function Get-Permutations
{
param ($array, $cur, $depth, $list)
$depth ++
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $array.Count; $i++)
{
$list += $cur+" "+$array[$i]
if ($depth -lt $array.Count)
{
$list = Get-Permutations $array ($cur+" "+$array[$i]) $depth $list
}
}
$list
}
$array = #("first","second","third","fourth")
$list = #()
$list = Get-Permutations $array "" 0 $list
$list
The solution posted by Micky Balladelli almost worked for me. Here is a version that does not duplicate values:
Function Get-Permutations
{
param ($array_in, $current, $depth, $array_out)
$depth++
$array_in = $array_in | select -Unique
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $array_in.Count; $i++)
{
$array_out += ($current+" "+$array_in[$i]).Trim()
if ($depth -lt $array_in.Count)
{
$array_out = Get-Permutations $array_in ($current+" "+$array_in[$i]) $depth $array_out
}
else {}
}
if(!($array_out -contains ($array_in -Join " "))) {}
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $array_out.Count; $i++)
{
$array_out[$i] = (($array_out[$i].Split(" ")) | select -Unique) -Join " "
}
$array_out | select -Unique
}

Foreach in foreach login in powershell

How can I make this logic work in powershell?
$i = ("SharePointCDPTestProject1_Feature1", "SharePointCDPTestProject1_Feature2", "SharePointCDPTestProject1_Feature3");
$a = Get-SPSite http://localhost/sts*;
Foreach($id in $i)
{
Foreach($p in $a)
{
Enable-SPFeature –identity $id -URL $p
}
}
Sorry.. I'm noob in ps
$i = ("SharePointCDPTestProject1_Feature1", "SharePointCDPTestProject1_Feature2", "SharePointCDPTestProject1_Feature3");
$a = Get-SPSite http://localhost/sts*;
$i | Foreach{
#save current id
$id=$_
$a | Foreach{
Enable-SPFeature –identity $id -URL $_
}
}
