Accessing values of object properties in PowerShell

Question

I\'m going through an array of objects and I can display the objects fine.

$obj

displays each object in my foreach loop fine. I\'m trying t

Answer 1

You don't have to iterate over all properties if you just need the value of one of them:

$obj.psobject.properties["bla"].value

Answer 2

Operator precedence interprets that in the following way:

($obj.$_).Name

which leads to nothing because you want

$obj.($_.Name)

which will first evaluate the name of a property and then access it on $obj.

Answer 3

Once you iterate over the properties inside the foreach, they become available via $_ (current object symbol). Just like you printed the names of the properties with $_.Name, using $_.Value will print their values:

$obj.psobject.properties | % {$_.Value}
