I'm trying to import a csv file and select only columns where the number is above the a certain value (80):
import-csv 'C:\temp\t\xxxx.csv' | where-object {[int]$_.utilization -gt 80}
The error I'm getting is:
Cannot convert value "17 %" to type "System.Int32". Error: "Input string was not in a correct format." At line:57 char:22 import-csv 'C:\temp\t\xxxx.csv' | where-object {[int]$_.utilization -gt 80} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [], RuntimeException FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidCastFromStringToInteger
$_utilization
seems to be an Object
Any thoughts?
I tried to convert with $util = [int]$_.utilization
, but I get the following error:
Cannot convert the "System.Object[]" value of type "System.Object[]" to type "System.Int32". At line:3 char:1 $util = [int]$_.utilization ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [], RuntimeException FullyQualifiedErrorId : ConvertToFinalInvalidCastException
CodePudding user response:
$_.utilization
contains a string. To parse the numeric prefix as an integer, remove the space and percentage sign from the string first:
[int]($_.utilization -replace ' %$') -gt 80
