Unable to get CSV Row count in Powershell
I have a csv file that's structured like this:
Text,Url
Learning Haskell,https://wiki.haskell.org/Learning_Haskell
I'm attempting to get the row count before I loop over the csv file, because I don't want to start a loop on empty results.
From researching (1,2), it would seem that Import-csv has a .Count property, but for some reason I'm unable to access that property. I'm using Powershell v5.
Code:
[string]$markdownlink = "markdownlinks.csv"
[string]$processedLinks = "completedlinks.txt"
$markdownlinkstoProcess = Import-Csv $markdownlink -Delimiter ","
# Returns 0
[int]$count=$markdownlinkstoProcess.Count
Write-output $count
powershell csv count

You could do$markdownlinkstoProcess.GetLength(0)or@($markdownlinkstoProcess.GetEnumerator()).Countto get the number of rows in the csv.$markdownlinkstoProcess.GetUpperBound(0) + 1should also do the trick.

when you have ONE data row in a CSV file, the import produces a single object. that has a known bug in that it will report zero as the .Count of the $Var. this appears to happen with anything that returns a single PSCustomObject - but i aint sure of that.
the solution is to force it to be an array. you can cast it as [array] or simply wrap it in @(). using your code for an example ...
$markdownlinkstoProcess = Import-Csv $markdownlink -Delimiter ","
$markdownlinkstoProcess.GetType()
# result = PSCustomObject
$markdownlinkstoProcess.Count
# result = 0
$markdownlinkstoProcess = @(Import-Csv $markdownlink -Delimiter ",")
$markdownlinkstoProcess.GetType()
# result = Object
$markdownlinkstoProcess.Count
# result = 1

You still can use Measure-Object CmdLet (That I personaly Alias with count).
((Import-Csv $markdownlink -Delimiter ",") | Measure-Object).count
