How do we make Inner-Join or something a Cross-Join in PowerShell or PowerCLI?
Even though im new to PowerCLI/PowerShell , I do have a basic grasp on them, yet have practically spent 2 days trying to figure this, going through numerous documentations and blogs to no avail.
All I really want to know is if after typing my command
Get-Content File.txt
and getting:
Output1 or Table1 is Name: Abc Group: Bad Policy: Great Name: redi Group: Good Policy: MAD etc. etc.
100s of these, and obviously more than just the 3 elements of Name, Group, Policy each.
Table2/Output2 Name: Abc Limit: 10 used: 5 Name: redi Limit: 20 used: 1 etc. etc.
100s of these.
and like 13 more of these text file tables, all with the "Name" as unique.
How can I combine it into one output at the end using Name with all the other elements?
My most obvious thought was something akin to joins, even if I had to do them 1 at a time, but even that I cant figure out how to do.
Is there anyway to do this in PowerShell itself without me having to go into Python or SQL?
If yes is there a method that is able to combine fields in spots where it's null?
If its not clear what type of result I am hoping for it will look something akin to this:
Name: Abc Group: Bad Policy: Great Limit: 10 used: 5 Name: redi Group: Good Policy: MAD Limit: 20 used: 1

Paweł Dyl provided you a solution based on your two tables. However you probably need a generic solution where you don't have to specify each property by name yourself.
I would combine each table to a an array. Group the tables on the Name property using the Group-Object cmdlet. Iterate over each group and create a PsObject using the properties:
$table1 = [PSCustomObject]@{ Name = 'Abc'; Group = 'Bad'; Policy = 'Great'}, [PSCustomObject]@{ Name = 'redi'; Group = 'Good'; Policy = 'MAD'}
$table2 = [PSCustomObject]@{ Name = 'Abc'; Limit = '10'; used = '5'}, [PSCustomObject]@{ Name = 'redi'; Limit = '20'; used = '1'}
$allTables = $table1 + $table2
$allTables | group Name | Foreach {
$properties = @{}
$_.Group | Foreach {
$_.PsObject.Properties | Where Name -ne 'Name' | Foreach {
$properties += @{
"$($_.Name)" = "$($_.Value)"
}
}
}
$properties += @{Name = $_.Name}
New-Object PSObject –Property $properties
}
Output:
Group : Bad
Policy : Great
Name : Abc
Limit : 10
used : 5
Group : Good
Policy : MAD
Name : redi
Limit : 20
used : 1

You can use simple loop join as follows:
$table1 = [pscustomobject]@{Name='Abc';Group='Bad';Policy='Great'},[pscustomobject]@{Name='redi';Group='Good ';Policy='MAD'}
$table2 = [pscustomobject]@{Name='Abc';Limit=10;used=5},[pscustomobject]@{Name='redi';Limit=20;used=1}
$table1 | % {
foreach ($t2 in $table2) {
if ($_.Name -eq $t2.Name) {
[pscustomobject]@{Name=$_.Name;Group=$_.Group;Policy=$_.Policy;Limit=$t2.Limit;Used=$t2.Used}
}
}
}
Assuming uniqueness of keys you can also use faster, hashtable approach:
$hashed = $table1 | group Name -AsHashTable
$table2 | % {
$matched = $hashed[$_.Name]
if ($matched) {
[pscustomobject]@{Name=$matched.Name;Group=$matched.Group;Policy=$matched.Policy;Limit=$_.Limit;Used=$_.Used}
}
}
You can also use generic solution and wrap it in function. It matches records by their property names:
function Join-Records($tab1, $tab2){
$prop1 = $tab1 | select -First 1 | % {$_.PSObject.Properties.Name} #properties from t1
$prop2 = $tab2 | select -First 1 | % {$_.PSObject.Properties.Name} #properties from t2
$join = $prop1 | ? {$prop2 -Contains $_}
$unique1 = $prop1 | ?{ $join -notcontains $_}
$unique2 = $prop2 | ?{ $join -notcontains $_}
if ($join) {
$tab1 | % {
$t1 = $_
$tab2 | % {
$t2 = $_
foreach ($prop in $join) {
if (!$t1.$prop.Equals($t2.$prop)) { return; }
}
$result = @{}
$join | % { $result.Add($_,$t1.$_) }
$unique1 | % { $result.Add($_,$t1.$_) }
$unique2 | % { $result.Add($_,$t2.$_) }
[PSCustomObject]$result
}
}
}
}
$table1 = [pscustomobject]@{Name='Abc';Group='Bad';Policy='Great'},
[pscustomobject]@{Name='redi';Group='Good ';Policy='MAD'},
[pscustomobject]@{Name='Not joined';Group='Very bad';Policy='Great'}
$table2 = [pscustomobject]@{Name='Abc';Limit=10;used=5},
[pscustomobject]@{Name='redi';Limit=20;used=1},
[pscustomobject]@{Name='redi';Limit=20;used=2}
#name is only common property, records joined by name
Join-Records $table1 $table2
#example2
$test1 = [pscustomobject]@{A=1;B=1;C='R1'},
[pscustomobject]@{A=1;B=2;C='R2'},
[pscustomobject]@{A=2;B=2;C='R3'}
$test2 = [pscustomobject]@{A=1;B=1;D='R4'},
[pscustomobject]@{A=3;B=2;D='R5'},
[pscustomobject]@{A=4;B=2;D='R6'}
Join-Records $test1 $test2 #joined by two common columns - A and B
You can also cascade calls:
$test1 = [pscustomobject]@{A=1;B=1;C='R1'},
[pscustomobject]@{A=1;B=2;C='R2'},
[pscustomobject]@{A=2;B=2;C='R3'}
$test2 = [pscustomobject]@{A=1;B=1;D='R4'},
[pscustomobject]@{A=3;B=2;D='R5'},
[pscustomobject]@{A=4;B=2;D='R6'}
$test3 = [pscustomobject]@{B=1;E='R7'},
[pscustomobject]@{B=2;E='R8'},
[pscustomobject]@{B=3;E='R9'}
#first join by common A and B, then join result by common B
Join-Records (Join-Records $test1 $test2) $test3

So I found an Answer which was more suitable and it uses the join-Object function which was defined below:
you can access it at https://github.com/RamblingCookieMonster/PowerShell/blob/master/Join-Object.ps1
All I really had to do was Define my outputs as $A and $B and $C and so on, and just
$Join1= Join-Object -Left $A -Right $B -LeftJoinProperty Name - RightJoinProperty Name
made $Join2 then 3 so on until I got it all done
$Join2 = Join-Object -Left $Join1 -Right $C -LeftJoinProperty Name -RightJoinProperty Name
$Join3 = Join-Object -Left $Join2 -Right $D -LeftJoinProperty Name -RightJoinProperty Name
$Join4 = Join-Object -Left $Join3 -Right $E -LeftJoinProperty Name -RightJoinProperty Name
Until I got it all done
回答4:
$Table1 | Join $Table2 -Using Name
$Table1 | Join $Table2 #Cross Join
