Easy question

What am I doing wrong with this? It is not returning anything. Running just
the get-wmiobject does.



$v = get-wmiobject -query "select PercentProcessorTime from
Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Processor where name = '_Total'"

write-host $v

Could be Write-Host mishandling a System.Management.ManagementObject because it doesn't have a ToString() method... not sure.

# try:
write-host $v.PercentProcessorTime

# some properties and values
$v

# available properties and values
$v | fl *

Correction, its inherited ToString() Method outputs a blank line. Write-Host uses the object's ToStrimg() Method and $v.toString() outputs a blank line.

$d = date
$d | gm ToString
$d.toString()
"$d"
write-host $d


$v | gm ToString
$v.toString()
"$v"
write-host $v
