File would look like this
Prename Lastname
Prename1 Lastname1
Prename2 Lastname2
...
In bash i would read that like this:
while read prename lastname do;
echo $prename
echo $lastname
done < text.txt
How could i do that in Powershell, i found that so far:
foreach($line in Get-Content .\text.txt) {
write-host $line
}
But i need to store the line in multiple variables so i can work with them i dont need the line i need every word seperatet, can someone help me with this or display some documentation?
Greatfull for any help.
To read the file (assuming the first line contain the "column name") and store it in variable $fileContent
you can do the following:
$fileContent = Import-Csv -Path c:\path\to\text.txt -Delimiter ' '
Iterate over the content and write out each column (assuming text.txt is separated by space):
foreach($line in $fileContent) {
Write-Host $line.Prename
Write-Host $line.Lastname
}
Also note that if there is a line like:
firstname secondname lastname
$prename
will be 'firstname'
and $lastname
will be 'secondname'
