Based on another question I posted on here, I was able to get the majority of this script working, but I don’t know how to change the formatting of a select-object. Google has been no help.

$head = @'
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <title>Current Conditions</title>
    </head>

    <body style="background-color:#EEEEEE">
    <h3 style="margin:0;padding-bottom:3px">Current Conditions at 
'@

$1 = @'
</h3>
    <p style="margin:0;padding-bottom:0px"><b>Dewpoint: </b>
'@

$2 = @'
</p>
    <p style="margin:0;padding-bottom:0px"><b>Temperature: </b>
'@

$3 = @'
</p>
    <p style="margin:0;padding-bottom:3px"><b>Humidity: </b>

$end = @'

$info = import-csv 1-pastweek.csv
$time = $info | select -last 1 Time
$temp = $info | select -last 1 Temp
$humid = $info | select -last 1 Humid
$dewpt = $info | select -last 1 Dewpt

$head + $time + $1 + $dewpt + $2 + $temp + $3 + $humid + $end | out-file -encoding "UTF8" current.html

This does work, but the format of the html output includes the header info from the CSV and I don’t see how to get around it.

Current Conditions at @{TIME=03/12/2012 15:32:22}

Dewpoint: @{DEWPT=62.7}

Temperature: @{TEMP=71.9}

Humidity: @{HUMID=74.4}

Any ideas on how to get the @{HEADER } to go away. I only want the actual data.

    For what you were trying, you just had to add -expandproperty to get the actual value rather than objects with the property.

    For example:

    $time = $info | select -last 1 -expand Time

    and you can use $time directly, rather than $time.TIME

    Also, if this is all you are doing and you are going to use the $time.TIME etc. you could have done:

    $info = import-csv 1-pastweek.cs | select -last 1

    and used $info.Time etc.
