Join two results in Powershell

Question

I've got two CMDlets that return lists of objects. One returns objects of the type SPSolution, which contains the property Id, the other returns objects of the type SPFeature with a property SolutionId.

Now I want to join/merge this data something like this:

$f = Get-Feature
$s = Get-Solution
$result = <JOIN> $f $s
          <ON> $f.SolutionId = $s.Id
          <SELECT> FeatureName = $f.DisplayName, SolutionName = $s.Name

Answer 1

It's not efficient, and it assumes PowerShell 2 but it should do the job:

$solutions = Get-Solution

foreach ($f in Get-Feature) {

    $filteredSolutions = $solutions |
        where-object { $_.Id -eq $f.SolutionId }

    foreach ($s in $filteredSolutions) {
        new-object PSObject -prop @{
            FeatureName = $f.DisplayName
            SolutionName = $s.Name
        }
    }
}

Note that I don't have SharePoint installed so I'm afraid that I can't test this!
