PowerShell 7.3 - Trouble with Filtering Nested Objects in JSON Arrays
I'm integrating two systems and I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me... I'm working with PowerShell 7.3 and am trying to filter through a nested JSON structure to extract specific values. The JSON structure looks something like this: ```json { "users": [ { "id": 1, "name": "Alice", "details": { "age": 30, "city": "New York" } }, { "id": 2, "name": "Bob", "details": { "age": 25, "city": "San Francisco" } } ] } ``` I want to filter out users who are older than 28 and get their names and cities. I've tried using the `ConvertFrom-Json` cmdlet combined with `Where-Object`, but I'm running into issues with accessing the nested properties. Here’s what I’ve attempted: ```powershell $jsonContent = Get-Content -Path "path/to/your/file.json" -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json $filteredUsers = $jsonContent.users | Where-Object { $_.details.age -gt 28 } | Select-Object name, @{Name='City'; Expression={ $_.details.city }} $filteredUsers ``` This code runs without errors, but it returns an empty array, even though I can see that there are users older than 28 in the original JSON. I suspect it might be an scenario with how I'm accessing the nested properties. Can anyone guide to figure out what I might be doing wrong? I also checked the structure of the JSON after conversion and it seems to be correct, so I'm a bit stumped as to why the filtering isn't giving me the expected results. My development environment is Ubuntu. What am I doing wrong? I appreciate any insights! This is happening in both development and production on Windows 10.
