You can access specific columns from a CSV file in PowerShell by first importing the CSV file and then selecting the columns you want. Here is an example of how you can do this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
# Import the CSV file
$data = Import-Csv 'path	oyourile.csv'

# Select specific columns
$data | Select-Object Column1, Column2

# Output the selected columns to the console
$data | Select-Object Column1, Column2 | Format-Table


In the above code snippet, replace 'path oyour ile.csv' with the actual path to your CSV file. The Select-Object cmdlet is used to select specific columns from the CSV file. You can specify multiple column names separated by commas. The Format-Table cmdlet is used to format the output as a table for better readability.


You can adjust the column names in the Select-Object cmdlet based on your specific requirements.
