How to use a Select-Object to create your custom object array for you
Often when I am creating custom data, I usually:
run a query to get the data I want
iterate through that returned list and create new objects
add these objects to a separate array holder
return that.
You can merge this with something like:
$drives = [System.IO.DriveInfo]::GetDrives() |Where-Object {$_.TotalSize} |Select-Object @{Name='Name'; Expr={$_.Name}},@{Name='Label'; Expr={$_.VolumeLabel}},@{Name='Size(GB)'; Expr={[int32]($_.TotalSize / 1GB)}},@{Name='Free(GB)'; Expr={[int32]($_.AvailableFreeSpace / 1GB)}},@{Name='Free(%)'; Expr={[math]::Round($_.AvailableFreeSpace / $_.TotalSize,2)*100}},@{Name='Format'; Expr={$_.DriveFormat}},@{Name='Type'; Expr={[string]$_.DriveType}},@{Name='Computer'; Expr={$ComputerName}}$drives | ConvertTo-Json -Compress
Saves time and makes the code faster and more readable!
