There has to be an easy way to grab all the header names from a import-csv?

ex: myfile.csv
code,name,state,zip
34,mike,co,80525
68,jim,co,80528

and do $mydata= import-csv myfile.csv, how do I get out the names of the
headers
I'm tring to get the equivilant of $headNames= $("code",name","State","Zip")

Hi PSApple,

Each header is represneted by a NoteProperty member, you can use get-member
to list them:


$csv = import-csv myfile.csv
$headres = $csv | Get-Member -MemberType NoteProperty | foreach {$_.name}
$headres

Small typo:

$headres -shouldBe $headers

You could use something like this.

Import-Csv C:\Data\Scripts\testme.txt | get-member -type properties |
foreach-object{$_.name}

When you use import-csv it creates and object using the CSV headers as the
properties and the values are attained from the csv.

try this:
$mydata= import-csv myfile.csv
$mydata | gm | Where-Object { $_.memberType -eq "NoteProperty" } |
Select-Object name

when you import-csv, PS will add the fields as member of array $mydata and
they will be of "NoteProperty" type.
