Hello,
I am writing a Power shell script to query AWS DynamoDB and retrieve some data (uses the AWS CLI). The two pieces of data I am interested in are "foldername" and "quota" size.
I would like to place those two pieces of information into two separate variables, $folder and $quota. From there I will use those variables in a update user quota information for a Windows FSRM implementation.
Below is the script that I have so far, the problem I've got is that I don't know how to turn the JSON output which I get from the AWS CLI dynamoDB into the variables. I've made a start by conventing the JSON data into a PowerShell object, but as you can see from the script below, it's full of symbols I don't want, "@= {}". Any help would be much appreciated.
### Connect to DynamoDB to extract the new Quota Data
$json = aws dynamodb scan --table-name quotapending --region ap-southeast-2
### Output the results to a JSON file
$json | Out-File -FilePath F:\MyJson.json
### Set the $file variable to the output JSON file
$file ="F:\MyJson.json"
### Create a Powershell object called $Data from the JSON strings
$data = Get-content $file| out-string | ConvertFrom-Json
### Print out the contents of the new PowerShell Object
$data.Items | Format-table
createdate quota foldername
