How do I properly use $_ in out-file? Here's my code:
get-content computers.txt |
Where {$_ -AND (Test-Connection $_ -Quiet)} |
foreach { Get-Hotfix -computername $_ } |
Select CSName,Description,HotFixID,InstalledBy,InstalledOn |
convertto-csv | out-file "C:\$_.csv"
I'm trying to execute a get-hotfix for all the computers listed in the text file then I want them to be exported to CSV with the computer name as the filename.
You need one pipeline to process the computers.txt files, and a nested one inside the foreach
to process the list of hotfixes for each computer:
get-content .\computers.txt |
Where {$_ -AND (Test-Connection $_ -Quiet)} |
foreach {
Get-Hotfix -computername $_ |
Select CSName,Description,HotFixID,InstalledBy,InstalledOn |
convertto-csv | out-file "C:\$_.csv"
}
Edit: Changed computers.txt
to .\computers.txt
, as this is required for local paths in powershell
