How to get hash table key which has specific value?

问题

I am having a hash table where Keys are being used based on value.

For ex.

    $ComponentTobeBuild=@{"ComponentNameX"="True";
                          "ComponentNameXyz"="False";
                          "SomeComponent"="False"}

I would like to get the keys which are having values True. (I will pass the key to some other script as parameter).

I was trying like that , But i think some where i am missing as it is not listing the keys.

$($ComponentToBuild.Keys) | Where-Object { $_.Value -eq "True" }

How to get the component Name which are having denoted as True? Also i would like to know whether hash table is a wise choice for this kind of work. Because I thought that Hash table will be mainly be used for processing the values.

Hi this should work for what you want.

$ComponentTobeBuild=@{"ComponentNameX"="Test";
                          "ComponentNameXyz"="False";
                          "SomeComponent"="False"}                    

Foreach ($Key in ($ComponentTobeBuild.GetEnumerator() | Where-Object {$_.Value -eq "Test"}))
{$Key.name}

回答2:

$ComponentTobeBuild.GetEnumerator() | ? { $_.Value -eq "True" }

I know this is old, but I saw this on my search for an other problem and wondered why you bother with Enumerators. Just build the code exactly as the question in real language:

Give me all keys, where the value is 'True'.

$ComponentTobeBuild.Keys | ? { $ComponentTobeBuild[$_] -eq 'True'  }

For sake of consistency I would encapsulate that in @() to get an Array even if there is just one or no result.

As for the Solution the asker had, the problem is that $_ is a String and .Value is not the value of the key. It simply doesn't exist in a String. You have to get the value of the hashtable with $_ as Key in order to compare it.

The problem with filtering Hashtables in PowerShell is that you can't iterate over the Key-Value pairs.

Let's say you have some collection:

$collection = @{ 
    a = 'A'; 
    b = 'B'; 
    c = 'C'; 
    d = 'D'; 
    e = 'E';
    ...
}

You would expect to be able to use

$results = $collection | Where-Object { $_.Key -in ('a', 'b', 'd') }

in PowerShell, but that's not possible.

Therefore you have fall back to using the enumerator:

$results = $collection.GetEnumerator() | Where-Object { $_.Key -in ('a', 'b', 'd') }
$results

Name                           Value
----                           -----
d                              D
b                              B
a                              A

You could also use the Dictionary.Keys' Where method which returns all elements where a condition holds true. That condition could be a lambda asserting that the tested key $_ relates to a "True" value in the dictionary.

$ComponentTobeBuild=@{"ComponentNameX"="True";
                      "ComponentNameXyz"="False";
                      "SomeComponent"="False"}
$ComponentTobeBuild.Keys.Where({$ComponentTobeBuild[$_] -eq "True"})
# -> @("ComponentNameX")

The simplest (and tidiest) way I found to do this was as follows:

$ComponentToBuild.where{$_.Keys -match 'True'}

Then get just the bits you need

$ComponentToBuild.where{$_.Keys -match 'True'} | select Field1,Field2,Field99

etc
