I have a hashtable as below:
$ProjectType = @{
CSharp = 'FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC'
Web_Application = '349C5851-65DF-11DA-9384-00065B846F21'
Windows_Communication_Foundation = '3D9AD99F-2412-4246-B90B-4EAA41C64699'
Windows_Presentation_Foundation = '60DC8134-EBA5-43B8-BCC9-BB4BC16C2548'
Test = '3AC096D0-A1C2-E12C-1390-A8335801FDAB'
Silverlight = 'A1591282-1198-4647-A2B1-27E5FF5F6F3B'
}
I want to run the hashtable against contents in a variable $file, and get a return of the projecttype name from the hashtable if the value (guid) is found in $file.
You most likely want to reverse the order of your Keys and Values on your Hash Table:
$ProjectType = @{
'FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC' = 'CSharp'
'349C5851-65DF-11DA-9384-00065B846F21' = 'Web_Application'
'3D9AD99F-2412-4246-B90B-4EAA41C64699' = 'Windows_Communication_Foundation'
'60DC8134-EBA5-43B8-BCC9-BB4BC16C2548' = 'Windows_Presentation_Foundation'
'3AC096D0-A1C2-E12C-1390-A8335801FDAB' = 'Test'
'A1591282-1198-4647-A2B1-27E5FF5F6F3B' = 'Silverlight'
}
# using this as example
$exampleFile = @'
349C5851-65DF-11DA-9384-00065B846F21

'@ -split '\r?\n'
foreach($line in $exampleFile)
{
if($val = $ProjectType[$line])
{
"$line => $val"
continue
}
"$line => could not be found on reference table."
}
