Newbie Question: Basic select-object Question.

Newbie alert.

Hi,

I am still a beginner at this, so excuse this basic question if it was
answered.
I read the docs, search through google and cannot find an answer to
this.

How to I capture the string only from the select-object output.

For example.


Handles  NPM(K)    PM(K)      WS(K) VM(M)   CPU(s)     Id ProcessName
-------  ------    -----      ----- -----   ------     -- -----------
    141      23    30480      27500   546     0.45   4928 GOContactSync

I would like to capture the process name only.



ProcessName
-----------
GOContactSync

How do I capture the value only "GOContactSync" and not the
"ProcessName" headline?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try the following:

(get-process -name g*).ProcessName

or

$p = get-process -name g* | select-object ProcessName
$p.ProcessName

Hi,

Get-Process g*

returns a collection of process objects with names that start with g

Select-Object converts each object of this collection to a new custom object 
with the single property ProcessName that is copied from the original process 
objects.

To investigate this try

 (Get-Process g* | Select-Object ProcessName).GetType()

and

Get-Process g* | Select-Object ProcessName | Get-Member

With the standard formatting the reduced object produces your result.

Try

Get-Process g* | ForEach-Object { $_.ProcessName }

to get a string for every process that starts with g.

To get the first process only that starts with g you can use

Get-Process p* | Select-Object -First 1 | ForEach-Object { $_.ProcessName }
