powershell - How to add a column of incrementing values to cmdlet output? -

suppose call get-service , want assign new column id cmdlet output prints incrementing integers that:

id  status name                            displayname --  ------ ----                            -----------  0 running adobearmservice                 adobe acrobat update service  1 stopped aelookupsvc                     application experience  2 stopped alg                             application layer gateway service 

i'm trying use select-object right add column, don't quite understand how iterate variable in sort of expression. here's i've got:

get-service | select-object @{ name = "id" ; expression= {  } }, status, name, displayname | format-table -autosize 

is there way iterate integers within expression= { }, or going problem wrong way?

you can way, though need maintain counter variable outside of main expression.

$counter = 0 get-service | select-object @{ name = "id" ; expression= {$global:counter; $global:counter++} }, status, name, displayname | format-table -autosize 

another option, perhaps cleaner

get-service ` |% {$counter = -1} {$counter++; $_ | add-member -name id -value $counter -membertype noteproperty -passthru} ` | format-table id
