Vista - Comparison of two sets of Data

I believe this is going to involve arrays and would like some guidance

But basically I want to write a list of these that don't match after a
comparison of the two sets of data.

In the following format obviously when the outer foreach doesn't match the
nested foreach it writes a "notmatch" - even if there is a match within the
two sets of data.

$CSVFile = "D:\Clusters.csv"
$Directory = "D:\Clusters"
$clusterfiles = dir $Directory | get-childitem -name
$ICLUSTERS = Import-Csv $CSVFile

ForEach ($ICLUSTER in $ICLUSTERS){
$Cluster = $ICLUSTER.cluster


ForEach ($clusterfile in $clusterfiles){
$clusfile = $clusterfile.name
$clusfilename = $clusterfile.split(".")[0]

if ($Cluster -notmatch $clusfilename){
write-host $Cluster " not match"
}#if

}#foreach

}#foreach

Check out compare-object. I have used this a few times recently, it's
really easy and flexible.

$previous = import-clixml "D:\LastResults.xml"
$current = dir "D:\directory"
compare-object $previous $current -Property name -IncludeEqual

$current | export-clixml "D:\LastResults.xml"


Drop the -IncludeEqual to just see the changes. You can swap out name
for size, or compare multiple properties. Very handy!

take note that compare-object compares up to 15 items. Therefore to compare
unlimited items, put:

compare-object -syncWindow $int

where $int is higher of the 2 objects.

Eg

compare-object <source> <target> -syncWindow $int
