Can Powershell Loop Through a Collection N objects at a time?

Question

I am wondering how one would tackle looping through a collection of objects, processing the elements of that collection in groups instead of singularly, as is the case in no

Answer 1

Change to Do...Until, increment counter by 5 each time.

$items = get-vm
$i = 0
do {
#STUFF
$i = $i + 5
} until ($i -ge $items.count)

(Untested, but should give you an idea)

EDIT: Fully tested:

$items = @()
foreach ($item in (get-alias)) {
$items += $item
}

$i = 0
do {
write-host $i
$i = $i + 5
} until ($i -ge $items.count)

Output:

0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 105 110 115 120 125 130 135

EDIT 2:

$items = @()
for($i=1; $i -le 75; $i++) {
$items += $i
}

[int]$i = 0
$outarray = @()
do {
$outarray += $items[$i]
if ((($i+1)%5) -eq 0) {
    write-host $outarray
    write-host ---------
    $outarray = @()
}

$i = $i + 1
} until ($i -gt $items.count)
