Difference between ForEach and ForEach-Object in powershell

Question

Is there any difference between ForEach and ForEach-Object ?

I have a small code like this, works fine

$txt = Get-Content \         


        

Answer 1

foreach is an alias of ForEach-Object but it appears to also be a keyword (which is confusing).

The foreach ($ in $){} syntax you are using is help about_foreach.

The foreach as ForEach-Object alias is help ForEach-Object.

The keyword foreach operates over each $ in the $ as given in the () bit.

The alias foreach/function ForEach-Object operates over each item of the collection it receives as input.
