Get-ItemProperty output between "" quotes

Question

Is there any way to get the "Get-ItemPropertyValue" output separated by semicolon each element and the whole output between quoutes?

For example:

Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters' -Name NullSessionPipes

Now the output is:

netlogon samr lsarpc

The desired output is:

"netlogon,samr,lsarpc"

I tried the backtick escape character, but unfortunately no luck.

Many thanks for help!

Start by using the -join operator on the desired string values to create a string like netlogon,samr,lsarpc:

$values = Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters' -Name NullSessionPipes |Where-Object { $_ <# this will remove empty values #> }
$string = $values -join ','

Now we just need to embed it in a string surrounded by literal "'s, my preference would be to use the -f operator:

'"{0}"' -f $string
