In order to get the value of a object's property whose name is stored in a variable, I use the following construct:
# Create object
$obj = new-object psObject -property @{ num = 42; txt = 'Hello world' }
# Name of property whose value I want:
$key = 'txt'
# Get value
$val = $obj.psObject.properties[$key].value
$val
I am wondering if $obj.psObject.properties[$key].value
can somehow be abbreviated.
Getting the value directly from a property where the property name (txt
) is stored in a variable ($key
) can be done like this;
$obj.$key
