ForEach Property in Get-Member

Question

I have the following snippet of code in my powershell script

    $sqlHDR = "SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET ('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=" + $dir + $m + ".xls;HDR=NO','SELECT * FROM [" + $y + "`$B1:Z1]')"
    $doHDR = invoke-sqlcmd -query $sqlHDR -ServerInstance $sqlserver -Database $db

    $doHDR | get-member -membertype properties

This is part of a loop that cycles through hundreds of Excel spreadsheets. The result is a dynamically changing set of columns from F1 through to F*n* (n being the unknown final column number) which have only one row, with a single value in each row.

I wondered if I could use get-member to somehow loop through the columns in the dataset to gain access to the values in field? Or am I going about this completely backwards, is there a better way to loop through the values in a single datarow?

Alternatively is there a way to loop through the property names themselves?

Many thanks!

Does this help any?

$doHDR.psobject.properties | 
 where {$_.name -like 'something*'} |
 foreach {set-variable -Name $_.name -Value $_.value}

Update with example foreach
