Use items from 2 arrays in a foreach loop

PowerShell Help
1

Hi

$array1 = @("1", "2", "3")

$array2 = @("D:\folder1", "D:\folder2", "D:\folder3")

foreach ($e in $array1) {
$QMGR = "QM.$e"
$server = Get-ChildItem -Path $f | Select-String -Pattern 'Server' |%{ $_ -replace '\s+$', '' }
}

$e belongs to array1

$f belongs to array2

I want to run loop where first value in array1 works parallelly with first value in array2 , second value in array1 works parallelly with second value in array2 and so on .

for example , the first loop will be

$QMGR = “QM.1”
$server = Get-ChildItem -Path D:\folder1 | Select-String -Pattern ‘Server’ |%{ $_ -replace ‘\s+$’, ‘’ }

Hashtable will help you here. An example below.

$Collection = @{
First = "FirstItem"
Second = "SecondItem"
Third = "ThirdItem"
}

$Collection.GetEnumerator() | Foreach-Object -Process { "$($_.Key) and $($_.Value)" }

Well, have you considered a multidimensional array vs two separate ones?

$MDArray = @(
        ('1', '2', '3'),
        ('D:\folder1', 'D:\folder2', 'D:\folder3')
)

$ArraryElement = -1

ForEach ($Item in $MDArray[0]) 
{
    ($ArraryElement += 1) # the parens is called variable squeezing, which 
                          # assigns that resutls to a variable and outputs to 
                          # the screen. Remove them if you don't want the output
    $MDArray[1][$ArraryElement]
}

# Results

0
D:\folder1
1
D:\folder2
2
D:\folder3



# Without squeezing

$MDArray = @(
        ('1', '2', '3'),
        ('D:\folder1', 'D:\folder2', 'D:\folder3')
)

$ArraryElement = -1

ForEach ($Item in $MDArray[0]) 
{
    $ArraryElement += 1
    $MDArray[1][$ArraryElement]
}

# Results

D:\folder1
D:\folder2
D:\folder3


# Real folders

$MDArray = @(
        ('1', '2', '3'),
        ('D:\temp', 'E:\temp', 'F:\temp')
)

$ArraryElement = -1

ForEach ($Item in $MDArray[0]) 
{
    $ArraryElement += 1
    Get-ChildItem -Path $MDArray[1][$ArraryElement] 
}

# Results

How about a for loop? The -replace had a typo.

$array1 = 1..3
$array2 = echo D:\folder1 D:\folder2 D:\folder3

for ($i = 0; $i -lt $array1.count; $i++) {
  $e = $array1[$i]; $f = $array2[$i]
  $QMGR = "QM.$e"
  $server = (Get-ChildItem $f | Select-String Server).trim()
}
