Powershell - Splitting variable into chunks
- by Andrew
I have written a query in Powershell interrogating a F5 BIG-IP box through it's iControl API to bring back CPU usage etc.
Using this code (see below) I can return the data back into a CSV format which is fine. However the $csvdata variable contains all the data. I need to be able to take this variable and for each line split each column of data into a seperate variable.
The output currently looks like this:
timestamp,"Utilization"
1276181160,2.3282800000e+00
Any advice would be most welcome
$SystemStats = (Get-F5.iControl).SystemStatistics
### Allocate a new Query Object and add the inputs needed
$Query = New-Object -TypeName iControl.SystemStatisticsPerformanceStatisticQuery
$Query.object_name = $i
$Query.start_time = $startTime
$Query.end_time = 0
$Query.interval = $interval
$Query.maximum_rows = 0
### Make method call passing in an array of size one with the specified query
$ReportData = $SystemStats.get_performance_graph_csv_statistics( (,$Query) )
### Allocate a new encoder and turn the byte array into a string
$ASCII = New-Object -TypeName System.Text.ASCIIEncoding
$csvdata = $ASCII.GetString($ReportData[0].statistic_data)
