Is this a decent analog for your script?
$List = $null
$Files = Get-ChildItem C:\
foreach ($File in $Files) {
if ($File.Name -like "program*") {
[array]$List += $File.Name
}
}
Out-File -FilePath "C:\files.txt" -InputObject $List
When I run this, c:\files.txt contains:
----snip----
Program Files
Program Files (x86)
----snip----
It seems the only difference is the extra stuff you're doing on the pipeline
during the assignment of $all_tapes. Are you sure that $tape.label and
$tape.location are strings?
I don't have tapes on my DPM server so I can't test it, but what do you get with
(Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServer SD-SCDPM-01 | Get-Tape | Select Label, Barcode,
Location) | Get-Member
Do you see Label, Barcode, and Location as NoteProperty - Definition
System.String?

I did that for debugging since I wasn't sure I had the concatente done right;
simplified it to take that out just to get the IF logic right. The output file
should have one element in it. It has none.
I put a statement in the IF block of "$tape.label" and it prints "$tape.label"
to the screen rather than a slot # for each element it encounters in the
$all_tapes var.
This has been a bugaboo of mine with powershell; trying to extract data from
attributes. Every time I think I have it I encounter a situation where it
doesn't work.

..and get rid of the "| ft -autosize" at the end of the $all_tapes statement.

Try [array]$eject_tapes += $tape.location
You're reassigning $eject_tapes every time through the loop and not appending a
value.

I thought I had this right, but apparently not.
It's my understanding that when selecting multiple attributes of a cmdlet's
output it creates an array. Yet it's not working.
$eject_tapes = $null
$all_tapes = Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServer SD-SCDPM-01 | Get-Tape | Select
Label, Barcode, Location | Sort-Object Label | ft -autosize
foreach ($tape in $all_tapes)
{
if ($tape.label -like "*monthly*" -and $tape.location -ne "offline")
{
$eject_tapes = $tape.location
}
}
out-file -filepath "c:\users\danielcadmin\documents\tapes.txt" -inputobject
$eject_tapes
Output file is empty and shouldn't be. Doing this manually I see it's not
picking up that I want the element. I've also tried $tape.[0] without joy. This
is part of a larger project BTW.
