query a csv file using powershell

$

I recently wrote a script that archives IIS logs into a remote server. The script runs by importing a module that mainly contains functions to copy, zip and remove files. I am populating the script the using a CSV File, which I have attached.

 The cutoffdate in the CSV represents the retention period for the IISLogs.

I do not want to run the delete action if the copy action returns an error. So, I added a column name called ActionID and PreCheckForActionID.

Later, when the script runs, for every object, I plan to add a new column in the imported CSV called results.. Hence, Before a remove action takes place, I would like to check for the PreCheckForActionID , filter the Action associated with it and check it the action was a success or returned an error.

This is what I have so far and I am completely lost, since I do not know how to go about getting the ActionID related to the PreCheckForActionID object.

 

$Newlist = Import-Csv C:\powershell\Servers.csv | Add-Member -MemberType noteproperty -Name Results -Value "success" -PassThru | Select-Object ActionID, Action, ServerName, PreCheckForActionID, Results 


$verynew = $Newlist | Select-Object -Property ActionID, Results, PreCheckForActionID | Select-Object -Property ActionID,PreCheckForActionID 


foreach($item in $verynew)
{
 $item.PreCheckForActionID

}
Here's how the CSV file looks like:
ActionID	 ServerName	 FileType	 Action	 Sourcefolder	 Destination	 Ext	 Compress	 CutOffPeriod	 PreCheckForActionID
1	A	 IISLogs	 Copy	 C$\Temp	 C:\Test\A\IISLogs	.log	 N	 	 
2	B	 IISLogs	 Copy	 C$\TEMP	 C:\Test\B\IISLogs	 .log	 Y	 	
3	C	 Backups	 Copy	 C$\Backup	 C:\Test\C\Backups	 .bak	 Y	 	 
4	A	IISLogs	Delete	C$\Temp		.log		15	1
Can someone help me out with the next step on how to correlate my PreCheckForActionID with an ActionID?
