How to get an object's property's value by property name?

Question

In PowerShell, how do you get an object\'s property value by specifying its name (a string)? I want something like the following:

$obj = get-something

# Vie         


        

Answer 1

Expanding upon @aquinas:

Get-something | select -ExpandProperty PropertyName

or

Get-something | select -expand PropertyName

or

Get-something | select -exp PropertyName

I made these suggestions for those that might just be looking for a single-line command to obtain some piece of information and wanted to include a real-world example.

In managing Office 365 via PowerShell, here was an example I used to obtain all of the users/groups that had been added to the "BookInPolicy" list:

Get-CalendarProcessing conferenceroom@domain.com | Select -expand BookInPolicy

Just using "Select BookInPolicy" was cutting off several members, so thank you for this information!
