Convert string to directory object in PowerShell

Question

I read strings line by line from a file (using Get-Content and a foreach loop), I want to convert those strings to directory objects (so that I can access properties like .FullName). How to easily convert from string to directory?

With files it is easy: $myFileAsFile = $myFileAsStr | dir $_, however, how to obtain my goal for a $directoryAsString?

Answer 1

Okay, the answer seems to be Get-Item:

$dirAsStr = '.\Documents'
$dirAsDir = Get-Item $dirAsStr
echo $dirAsDir.FullName

Works!
