return array of objects from Get-ChildItem -Path
The Get-ChildItem
cmdlet in PowerShell returns an array of FileInfo
and DirectoryInfo
objects representing files and directories, respectively. To specifically retrieve an array of objects from the Get-ChildItem
cmdlet, you can use the Select-Object
cmdlet. Here's an example:
powershell$files = Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Path\To\Directory" | Select-Object Name, FullName, Extension, Length, LastWriteTime
In the above code snippet, Get-ChildItem
retrieves the list of files and directories in the specified directory. The output is then piped to Select-Object
, where you can specify the properties (Name
, FullName
, Extension
, Length
, LastWriteTime
) you want to include in the resulting array of objects.
The resulting $files
variable will contain an array of objects with the selected properties for each file in the specified directory. You can access and manipulate these objects as needed.
Feel free to adjust the properties or customize the code according to your requirements.
