powershell - Adding objects to array to create multiple columns -

i'm trying displayname of software listed in addremoveprograms each computer, add array under name of computer, export. here's have:

$computers = gc "c:\get software.txt" $csv = "c:\get software.csv" $results = @()  if (test-path $csv) {     remove-item $csv     }  foreach($computer in $computers){      #get displayname of software installed on asset     $software = get-wmiobject win32reg_addremoveprograms -computername $computer | select-object -expandproperty displayname     $counter = 0      while ($counter -lt $software.count){      #create psobject. loops through software , adds $results.     $obj = new-object psobject     add-member –inputobject $obj –membertype noteproperty  -name $computer -value $software[$counter]     $counter++     $results+=$obj     }     }   $results | export-csv $csv -notypeinformation 

unfortunately, output lists first computer in csv. i've tried stepping through understand it, don't understand why can't add $obj variable $results different name property (in case i'm looping , making new name based on computer name in .txt file). seems take first input , won't put new column header spit out software. below example of i'm getting , i'd instead.

output

a01234 program1 program2 program3 

expected output

a01234     b05678      c09123 program1   program97   program30 program2   program98   program31 program3   program99   program32 

hopefully makes sense. assistance appreciated, i'm doing wrong objects , i'm not seeing it. thanks!

this do-able, isn't quite simple think. suggest setting things hashtable keys computer names , values array of software titles each computer. find out how many titles computer software has (that's how many rows you'll have, it's how many times you'll have loop), , create loop make many objects. each object have no properties start, , add property each computer in hashtable, , value property nth item listed in hashtable computer. here's code, might make make more sense:

$computers = 'a01234','b05678','c09123'  $sftwrpercmp = [ordered]@{}  foreach($computer in $computers){     $sftwrpercmp.add($computer,@())      #randomly generate 7-15 strings 'programs' current computer     $software = 1..$(get-random -maximum 15 -minimum 7)|%{(get-random -inputobject $("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789" -split ''|?{$_}) -count 6) -join ''}      foreach($title in $software){         $sftwrpercmp["$computer"] += $title     } }  $maxtitlecount = $sftwrpercmp.values|%{$_.count}|sort|select -last 1  $results = @() for($i=0;$i -lt $maxtitlecount;$i++){     $record = new-object psobject     $sftwrpercmp.keys | foreach{add-member -inputobject $record -notepropertyname $_ -notepropertyvalue $sftwrpercmp["$_"][$i]}     $results += $record     clear-variable record }  $results|format-table -autosize 

now not randomly generate software titles, you'll use existing $software = get-wmiobject line that's in existing code instead since part @ least working you. should result in listings looking for. code resulted in this:
