I have the below code which produces the PSObject:
$Installs = foreach($CVAFile in $CVAFiles)
{
$CVAFileContents = get-content $($CVAFile).fullname -raw
$CVAFileContents -match '(?s).*?\[General\].*?SystemMustBeRebooted=(\d).*?\[Install Execution\].*?SilentInstall=(.*?)\n.*' | out-null
$s = $CVAFile.fullname.split("\")[-1].split(".")[0]
[pscustomobject]@{
SP = $s
NeedsRestart = $Matches[1]
SilentInstall = $Matches[2]
}
}
Then use the below to write it out for resumption (with other code that successfully removes installs as they are done):
$Installs | export-csv $ResumeHPImagingAssistantInstallsCSVFile -notypeinformation
Importing the CSV using this later:
$Installs = import-csv $ResumeHPImagingAssistantInstallsCSVFile
However, get-member shows then following when there is 2+ data lines in the CSV:

I need to be able to using count (or length) regardless of whether I have 0, 1, or 2+ PSObjects in the $Installs variable. How?
Seems one way to solve this is to force $Installs to be an array, even if only one element is contained within it.
Using [array]$Installs =
