Hi,

I often use the below type of loop in batch files.

for /f %%a in (file.csv) do echo %%a

can anyone help me converting this into a powershell script?

I have googled but not had much luck, i am new to powershell and need help with this is anyone can offer it? It would be much appreciated.

TIA

If anyone is reading this I managed to sort this by doing the following

$file = "C:\file.csv"
$macs = Get-Content $file | foreach{$_.split(",")}

foreach ($mac in $macs)
{
   write-output $mac | out-file -filepath "C:\file2.txt" -append
}

I know this seems silly, taking one file and putting it into another but for illustration it is good, in the foreach loop you can do anything with the $mac variable
