Re: using an input file

Driver,

  You can also use a CSV spreadsheet with headers and colums if you need more data.

 

IE

hosts.csv

hostname,ip

blah.blah.com,10.10.10.10

 

 

Then you can do

$data = import-csv hosts.csv

 

you can reference the members like so:

 

foreach ($var in $data)

{  get-vmhost $data.hostname or get-vmhost $data.ip

}

 

You basically can reference the column headers in your loop

I figured I would play for a few minutes... When I create the csv like this:

hosts.csv

inside there is......

host,ip

host1,1.2.3.4

host2,2.3.4.5

it errors stating "argument is null"

If there is only

host,ip

host1,1.2.3.4

it works fine. I assumed I could add multiple hosts but it does not appear to work..
