Convert a Powershell hashtable to object

2015, May 12    

I’ve struggled on a few occasions of being lumbered with a hashtable that i’d created for whatever reason (usually because it’s so damn quick and easy).
Having my roots in OO development, I inevitably want to start dealing with objects at some point.

Long story short, here you go 🙂

function ConvertHashtableTo-Object {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    Param([Parameter(Mandatory=$True,ValueFromPipeline=$True,ValueFromPipelinebyPropertyName=$True)]
        [hashtable]$ht
    )
    PROCESS {
        $results = @()

        $ht | %{
            $result = New-Object psobject;
            foreach ($key in $_.keys) {
                $result | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name $key -Value $_[$key]
             }
             $results += $result;
         }
        return $results
    }
}
