Overwriting Arrays

I think I'm missing something simple here. I have the following
script to get the name, size, and owner of files in a directory.

Each time at $Details += $Detail , every element in $Details gets
overwritten with the current $Detail so my output.txt ends up being a
table with the last record repeated.


$files=Get-ChildItem C:/Scripts

$Detail = Select-Object -InputObject "" Name,Size,Owner

$Details = @()

foreach ($file in $files)
{
$owner=Get-acl $file.FullName

$Detail.Name = $file.FullName
$Detail.Size = $file.length
$Detail.Owner = $owner.owner
$Details += $Detail
}

$Details | out-file output.txt

Move the line where you create the $Detail object into the loop, and
you will see what you expect. Below is a another way to accomplish
what you are doing:

Get-ChildItem | Select-Object `
@{Name="Name"; Expression={$_.Fullname}},
@{Name="Size"; Expression={$_.Length}},
@{Name="Owner"; Expression={(Get-Acl $_).Owner}} |
Out-File output.txt

I hope this helps.
