}Hi, thanks, that is great!
So now I got the output in a text file, with this structure:
SamAccountName
--------------
User1
User2
User3So I can make the next step I need to clean up the first 2 lines of the output text file, so I can have the needed values to compare only.
I've searched and tried to use this command:
Get-Content $Path | Select-Object -Skip 3 | Set-Content $Path
If I run this on the file without the Set-Content $Path it works just fine, but when goes to write to the output file, I always got the error:
Set-Content : The process cannot access the file 'C:\Temp\teste.txt' because it is being used by another process.
I've read about it, and some say it's related to having Powershell ISE opened, but I close it and it's just the same.
Any tips on this?Thanks
- it is not the best option, but you can export to a new name file, example test2.txt, or temp.txt, and in the end of execution execute the delete command for the files that you dont want to keep
- Well, at least it solved the issue 🙂
Thanks
