Hi,
I am new to powershell but need to sort some data from a csv file but what ever I try, the result is an error. I will try to paste a small part of the csv file:
date,prio,stat,cp,comp,tag,state,val,analog,value
"2014-07-07 00:00:14","1","ALM","IKCP15","HI_QMI_BL","11QA0003_52","CHANGE","1","0.000000","-2.554552",""
"2014-07-07 00:00:18","1","ALM","IKCP11","HI_QMI_BL","11QA0003_52","CHANGE","1","0.000000","-2.554552",""
"2014-07-07 00:01:17","1","ALM","IKCP80","F_VU40","40GB0004","CHANGE","1","0.000000","60.100002",""
"2014-07-07 00:01:17","1","ALM","IKCP77","F_VU40","40KBS0008","CHANGE","1","0.000000","60.100002",""
"2014-07-07 00:01:59","1","ALM","IKCP06","HI_QMI_BL","11QA0003_52","CHANGE","1","0.000000","-2.554552",""
"2014-07-07 00:02:03","1","ALM","IKCP04","HI_QMI_BL","11QA0003_52","CHANGE","1","0.000000","-2.554552",""
The command I use to read is: $a = import-csv .\test.txt | format-table
Now I need to sort the data on the 4th column, cp. So I use sort-object cp But no mather where I put this, at the end when reading the file, just $a = $a | sort-object or from $a to $b the output is :
out-lineoutput : The object of type "Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.FormatEntryData" is not valid or not
in the correct sequence. This is likely caused by a user-specified "format-*" command which is conflicting with the de
fault formatting.
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [out-lineoutput], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ConsoleLineOutputOutOfSequencePacket,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.OutLineOutputCommand
What am I missing? Thanks in advance
Robbert.
