The following code gives me an error on the Sort Function from PowerShell:
function Sorter {
param(
[string]$InFile = ""
)
$FP = Resolve-Path $InFile -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable fp2
if (-not($FP)) {
throw "In file not found: $InFile";
}
$lines = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllLines($FP)
$lines.Sort()
}
PS> Sorter -InFile C:\Windows\win.ini
ERROR!!! on line $lines.Sort()
strings[] $lines should have a Sort Method?
CodePudding user response：
Use the Sort-Object cmdlet:
$lines = $lines |Sort-Object
Sort-Object is (indirectly) type-aware and will correctly sort the values alphabetically (as they are strings).
CodePudding user response：
Type String does not have a sort method.
However you can pipe the $Lines through to the Sort Function / Cmdlet:
function Sorter {
param(
[string]$InFile = ""
)
$FP = Resolve-Path $InFile -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable fp2
if (-not($FP)) {
throw "In file not found: $InFile";
}
$lines = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllLines($FP)
$lines | Sort
}
To test this you can wallk through by manually setting $Infile to a local text / ini file etc, after you have set $Lines you can use get-member to see all available methods on the data type:
$Lines | Get-Member
Output:
TypeName: System.String
