Powershell Array replace value

Question

This is probably a very simple question but I am new to powershell arrays.

I have a multidimensional array in powershell which is populated from a CSV file. eg:

$data = Import-CSV \\filelocation\file.csv
$data

company       emailaddress
-------       ------------
company1      emailaddress1
company2      emailaddress2

I can view a specific value in the array with the following:

write-host $data.emailaddress{1]

which will output: "company2".

I want to be able to replace a string in the array but if I use the following:

$data.emailaddress[1] = "NEWemailaddress"

and

write-host $data.emailaddress{1]

then the data is still the same.

How do I get the value to overwrite?

Thanks

I think what you have is an array of objects not a multi dimensional array. Try this:

$data[1].emailaddress = "NEWemailaddress"
