Powershell: Output collection of objects -

i have collection of objects properties:

$col = @{....} 

and data this:

id     name     items ---    ----     ----- 01            (a, b, c, d) 02     .... 

items array of strings. if output content of $col, data displayed above. there way output values this?

id     name     items ---    ----     ----- 01                            b                 c                 d 02     b          03     c        c1 04     d        d1                 d2 05 ... 

updated, items column may contain empty, 1 or more 1 items.

first setup approximately object, test with:

$col = @(      (new-object –typename psobject –prop @{'id'='01';'name'='a';'items'=@(1,2,3)}),     (new-object –typename psobject –prop @{'id'='02';'name'='b';'items'=@(1,2,3)}),     (new-object –typename psobject –prop @{'id'='03';'name'='c';'items'=@(1,2,3)})     ) 

then print it:

$col  name id items     ---- -- -----        01 {1, 2, 3} b    02 {1, 2, 3} c    03 {1, 2, 3} 

then define custom format rule 'items' column, joins collection items using newline character:

$itemformat = @{expression={($_.items -join "`n")};label="items";width=6} 

then print collection format-table, using -wrap allow wrap long lines:

$col | format-table id,name,$itemformat -wrap -autosize 

which gives:

id name items -- ---- ------ 01    1              2              3      02 b    1              2              3      03 c    1              2              3
