How to feed a table with results from foreach

PowerShell Help
1

I am copying files to multiple locations and then do a check against the source to see if each file exists in each location.

I want to have the result in a table like below, but can’t figure out how to do it.

FileName Dstn1 Dstn2 Dstn3

A.xml yes yes yes
B.xml yes yes yes
C.xml yes yes yes

Here is my code

$Prod_SRCDIR1 = “C:\temp\Copy\00_S”
$Prod_DST = “C:\temp\Copy\01_D”,“C:\temp\Copy\02_D”,“C:\temp\Copy\03_D”
$Prod_DST1 = “C:\temp\Copy\01_D”
$Prod_DST2 = “C:\temp\Copy\02_D”
$Prod_DST3 = “C:\temp\Copy\03_D”

$Prod_DST | %{Copy-Item $Prod_SRCDIR1*.xml -Destination $_ -Force}
$FileList = Get-ChildItem -Path $Prod_SRCDIR1*.xml | Select -ExpandProperty Name
Foreach ($item in $FileList){
$Prod_DST |
% {if (Test-Path ($_ + "" + “$item”)){
write-host $item exist in $_ -ForegroundColor Green
}else{
write-host $item does not exist in $_ -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
}

# Input
$SourceFolder = "C:\temp\Copy\00_S"
$DestinationFolders = "C:\temp\Copy\01_D","C:\temp\Copy\02_D","C:\temp\Copy\03_D"

# Copy
$DestinationFolders | % { Copy-Item -Path $SourceFolder\*.xml -Destination $_ -Force }

# Validation
$FileList = Get-ChildItem -Path $SourceFolder\*.xml | Select -ExpandProperty Name
$myOutput = Foreach ($item in $FileList){
    $Props = [Ordered]@{ FileName = $item }
    $DestinationFolders | % {
        if (Test-Path ($_ + "\" + "$item")){
            write-host $item exist in $_ -ForegroundColor Green
            $Props.Add($(Split-Path $_ -Leaf),'yes')
        } else {
            write-host $item does not exist in $_ -ForegroundColor Red
            $Props.Add($(Split-Path $_ -Leaf),'no')
        }
    }
    New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property $Props
}
$myOutput

You can also simply validate success/failure of the copy-item cmdlet by enclosing it in a try/catch block, and build up your $myOutput object based on that…
