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

Here's a function that will collection items into chunks of a specified size:

function ChunkBy($items,[int]$size) {
    $list = new-object System.Collections.ArrayList
    $tmpList = new-object System.Collections.ArrayList
    foreach($item in $items) {
        $tmpList.Add($item) | out-null
        if ($tmpList.Count -ge $size) {
            $list.Add($tmpList.ToArray()) | out-null
            $tmpList.Clear()
        }
    }

    if ($tmpList.Count -gt 0) {
        $list.Add($tmpList.ToArray()) | out-null
    }

    return $list.ToArray()
}

The usage would be something like:

ChunkBy (get-process) 10 | foreach { $_.Count }
