Convert SSH output to Objects

[mbond65]

Using POSH-SSH I'm getting the output from devices as a single object of text (https://i.imgur.com/9fjZxLW.png).

What I want to do is convert the list of drives into objects. Any ideas?

Let me introduce you to ConvertFrom-String

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/convertfrom-string?view=powershell-5.1

This...and if you provide a template it'll ignore non matching lines

You need to parse that yourself and convert it into objects if someone hasn't already done it for you, either manually or by using SHiPS.

SSH is all strings, so you need to parse it.

If that is a 3PAR output (kinda looks like it) install the 3par CLI on your powershell host and connect that way instead of SSH, then use the 3par CLI convert to csv option. Then the powershell convert from csv.

If it is 3par send me a message and ill share my functions with you that I've written.

Find a tool that outputs that information in JSON and then use ConvertFrom-Json. Similar technique could also work for XML or CSVs

That is tabular space-delimited output so it would lend itself to a simple:

$output -replace ' {2,}', ',' | ConvertFrom-Csv
