I've written a Powershell script that reads a CSV file and returns a predetermined collection from the data. Below is a sample output of said script.
Count Name
------ ------
12 Rubies
3 Pearls
20 Emeralds
I am able to obtain the results in C# by storing it in a PSObject like so:
var shell = PowerShell.Create();
shell.Commands.AddScript("C:\\Scripts\\Powershell\\Get-MyData.ps1");
Collection<PSObject> results = shell.Invoke();
Now when I'm expecting a single object, I am able to obtain each value and assign them to variables like this:
foreach (PSObject psObject in results)
{
localVariable = Convert.ToString(psObject.Properties["Name"].Value);
}
However, I am having trouble converting this solution to a dynamic one. That is to say, the number of rows is expected to vary. So I've implemented this before when the source is a SQL database using a solution similar to the one posted here so I've assumed that datatables should be the way to go but I cannot get it to work in this scenario. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
Note: The Powershell script component here is compulsory as it includes other mechanisms to formulate the output so while I could just read from the CSV file using C#, this is simply not an option.
