Aside from the requests for a $PSIndex, index-variable in foreach pairing:
It would also be nice if we could have parallel input streams
This:
Causes currently an error:
An empty pipe element is not allowed.
Instead it could possibly create a kind of a "deferred pipeline object" and each time the object is used/invoked it processes and returns the next item in the deferred pipeline (until it is empty where it returns an AutomationNull)
Wishful thinking:
$Count = (1..3 |) # Initialize the deferred pipeline object
$Count
1
$Count
2
$Count
3
$Count # Nothing (`AutomationNull`) returns
More specific:
$a = (Get-Connect .\MyHughFile.txt |) # or any other long stream
$b = (1..1e9 |) # In the idea, the range shouldn't affect the memory used for $b
$c = (Import-Csv .\Large.csv |)
$a | ForEach-Object {
Write-Host '$a item:' $_
Write-Host '$b item:' $b # Every time the $b is used, it processes the next item in the deferred $b pipeline
Write-Host '$c item:' $c # Ditto for $c
