Getting the current hash key in a ForEach-Object loop in powershell

Question

I\'ve got a hash table:

$myHash = @{ 
   \"key1\" = @{
       \"Entry 1\" = \"one\"
       \"Entry 2\" = \"two\"
   }
            


        

Answer 1

I like to use GetEnumerator() when looping a hashtable. It will give you a property value with the object, and a property key with it's key/name. Try:

$myHash.GetEnumerator() | % { 
    Write-Host "Current hashtable is: $($_.key)"
    Write-Host "Value of Entry 1 is: $($_.value["Entry 1"])" 
}
