How do I convert an array object to a string in PowerShell?

Question

How can I convert an array object to string?

I tried:

$a = \"This\", \"Is\", \"a\", \"cat\"
[system.String]::J         


        

Answer 1

I found that piping the array to the Out-String cmdlet works well too.

For example:

PS C:\> $a  | out-string

This
Is
a
cat

It depends on your end goal as to which method is the best to use.
