    <p>Does anyone know how you can display output from a function like get-childitem when it runs multiple times(array pipeline input)? I'll try to show it With an example.</p> <pre><code>PS C:\Users&gt; ".\Graimer", ".\Public" | Get-ChildItem Directory: C:\Users\Graimer Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- d-r-- 20.12.2012 15:59 Contacts d-r-- 06.01.2013 01:23 Desktop d-r-- 02.01.2013 17:15 Documents d-r-- 05.01.2013 16:38 Downloads d-r-- 20.12.2012 15:59 Favorites d-r-- 20.12.2012 15:59 Links d-r-- 20.12.2012 15:59 Music d-r-- 20.12.2012 15:59 Pictures d-r-- 20.12.2012 15:59 Saved Games d-r-- 20.12.2012 15:59 Searches d-r-- 20.12.2012 15:59 Videos Directory: C:\Users\Public Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- d-r-- 20.12.2012 13:57 Documents d-r-- 26.07.2012 10:13 Downloads d-r-- 26.07.2012 10:13 Music d-r-- 26.07.2012 10:13 Pictures d-r-- 26.07.2012 10:13 Videos </code></pre> <p>In my function, when I use array input and process { } Blocks, Write-output puts all the results in one table like it should. But how can I format it like this? Separate by Directory when displayed, while being stored as a standard object-array? Can't seem to find articles on it. It doesn't matter if it's only possible With compiled cmdlets, I'm just looking for some clues no matter what :)</p> <p>EDIT: Added my code. Just creating psobjects and using Write-Object to display them.</p> <pre><code>Function Get-RecurseFileCount { [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline=$true)] [String[]]$Path = "." ) Begin { } Process { foreach ($rootpath in $Path) { Write-Verbose "Testing if path of rootdirectory exists" if(Test-Path $rootpath) { Write-Verbose "Getting all recursive subfolders" $folders = Get-ChildItem $rootpath -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | where {$_.PSIsContainer} Write-Verbose "Starting to count files in rootfolder" $folder = Get-Item $rootpath $fcount = (Get-ChildItem $rootpath -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | where {!$_.PSIsContainer}).Count New-Object psobject -Property @{FolderName = $folder.Name; FolderPath = $folder.FullName; FileCount = $fcount} | Write-Output Write-Verbose "Starting to count files in subfolders" foreach($folder in $folders) { $fname = $folder.Name $fpath = $folder.FullName $fcount = (Get-ChildItem $fpath -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | where {!$_.PSIsContainer}).Count New-Object psobject -Property @{FolderName = $fname; FolderPath = $fpath; FileCount = $fcount} | Write-Output } Write-Verbose "Finished with filecount" } } } End { } } </code></pre> <p>And <code>Format-Table -GroupBy ..</code> is not an answer. A solution would be to add a property called <code>root = $rootpath</code> and add a default view that Groups by the property <code>root</code> AND hiding it in the table so it's not displayed multiple times. The question is just.. how? :)</p>

    2. COadd it now. Any function using Write-output will do since my code behaves as it should. It's Get-ChildItem that(DirectoryInfo / FileInfo Objects) that has that special something :)

    3. COI have narrowed it down to type / view defintions(don't know the difference) that are stored in ps1xml files. The FileInfo/DirectoryInfo types have a default view definition that Groups by(this is what I want) by directory but there has to be an easier way without creating a c# class, two xml files and manually updating the PS session With the New xml files. Anyone who can simplify how this all Works? :)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
