How do I replace an array with multi values with a specific value?

Question

Example: Name:Mario Samaccountname:sMario Name:Luigi SamaccountName:sLuigi I want to replace sLuigi with xLuigi.

Answer 1

and how to I remove Name:Mario Samaccountname:sMario

Answer 2

if I save my variable to txt, it looks like this.

DisplayName: Mario
Name: Mario S.
email: MarioS@xyz .com
samaccountName: marios

Displayname: Luigi
Name: Luigi S.
email: LuigiS@xyz .com
samaccountName: luigis

I am hoping to update it if a samaccountname exist in my hash

$x= [PSCustomObject]@{tSamaccountname='luigis';gSamaccountname='marios'}, [PSCustomObject]@{tSamaccountname='newLuigi';gSamaccountname='newMario'}
$h = @{}
$x |
ForEach-Object{
$h.($.tSamaccountname) = $.gSamaccountname
}

Answer 3

Hi @Mike ,

Is the variable an array of PSCustomObjects with the properties DisplayName, email, Name and samaccountName? If so, you can do something like the following

$var | ForEach-Object {  
    if($h[$_.samaccountName]){  
        $_.samaccountName = $h[$_.samaccountName]  
    }  
}  

It will replace the value 'luigis' of the samaccountName property with the value 'mario' to the key 'luigis' of your hashtable $h.
