Requirement
Need PowerShell Code to compare two multi dimension arrays. It should result difference set of values in multi dimension arrays.
Input
| 001 002 |
$A=@((1,A,D),(2,B,K),(3,C,X),(4,D,L)) $B=@((1,A,D),(2,B,K),(2S,J,T),(3,C,X),(4,D,L)) |
The multi dimension array is incorrect so we need to fix this like shown below
| 001 002 |
$A=@(('1','A','D'),('2','B','K'),('3','C','X'),('4','D','L')) $B=@(('1','A','D'),('2','B','K'),('2S','J','T'),('3','C','X'),('4','D','L')) |
Now let's use Compare-Object to meet the requirement
| 001 002 003 004 005 |
$A=@(('1','A','D'),('2','B','K'),('3','C','X'),('4','D','L')) $B=@(('1','A','D'),('2','B','K'),('2S','J','T'),('3','C','X'),('4','D','L')) Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $B -DifferenceObject $A |
