Do not format objects before sending them to the Export-CSV cmdlet. If you do, the format properties are represented in the CSV file, instead of the properties of the original objects. To export only selected properties of an object, use the Select-Object cmdlet.
The default value is ASCII.
Indicates that this cmdlet does not overwrite an existing file. By default, if a file exists in the specified path, Export-CSV overwrites the file without warning.
Indicates that this cmdlet omits the type information from the CSV file. By default, the first line of the CSV file contains #TYPE followed by the fully-qualified name of the type of the object.
Specifies the path to the CSV output file.
Specifies the path to the CSV output file. Unlike Path, the value of the LiteralPath parameter is used exactly as it is typed. No characters are interpreted as wildcards. If the path includes escape characters, enclose it in single quotation marks. Single quotation marks tell Windows PowerShell not to interpret any characters as escape sequences.
PS C:> Get-Process wmiprvse | Select-Object basePriority,ID,SessionID,WorkingSet | Export-Csv -Path "data.csv"
This command selects a few properties of the WmiPrvse process and exports them to a CSV file named Data.csv.
PS C:> Get-Process | Export-Csv -Path "processes.csv"
PS C:> Get-Process | Export-Csv -Path "processes.csv" -Delimiter ";"
It saves the revised results in the ScriptFiles variable.
PS C:> $ScriptFiles | Export-Csv -Append -Path "\Archive01ScriptsScripts.csv"
The command uses the Path parameter to specify the output file and the Append parameter to add the new script data to the end of the output file, instead of replacing the existing file contents.These commands add information about new Windows PowerShell scripts to a script inventory file.
The first command uses the Get-ChildItem cmdlet to do a recursive search in the D: drive for files with the .ps1 file name extension. It uses a pipeline operator to sends the results to the Where-Object cmdlet, which gets only files that were created after January 1, 2011, and then saves them in the $ScriptFiles variable.
#In Date.csv:"DateTime","Day","DayOfWeek","DayOfYear""Tuesday, October 05, 2010 2:45:13 PM","5","Tuesday","278"
This command uses the Get-Date cmdlet to get the current date and time. It uses the Select-Object cmdlet to select the desired properties, and the Export-CSV cmdlet to export the object and its properties to the Date.csv file. The output shows the expected content in the Date.csv file.
Because a CSV file has a table format, it might seem natural to use the Format-Table cmdlet to format the data in a table to prepare it for export as a CSV file. Also, the Format-Table cmdlet allows you to select object properties easily.
