output group membership on a single line

I've been trying to figure out how to do this and I just can't seem to
figure it out. What I have is this:

(get-group -Identity <groupName>).members | select name

This returns each name on a separate line:

User1
User2
User3
User4

What I'd like is to change it to a series of strings that I can save to
a file where it looks like this:

User1,User2,User3,User4

Any thoughts on how to do this?

As always thanks for any answers or feedback.

Perfect..thanks!

Hi Steven,

First strip the object to have the names (group members) as strings only,
use foreach instead of select, and assign it to a variable.
Here's an example using get-process:

PS 22> $names = gps m* | foreach {$_.name}
PS 23> $names

Maxthon
mDNSResponder
msdtc
msnmsgr
mstsc

In PowerShell v1.0 you can join the strings with [string]::join static method:


PS 24> [string]::join(",",$names)

Maxthon,mDNSResponder,msdtc,msnmsgr,mstsc


PowerShell CTP(2) has a new -join parameter, so you can do:

PS 25> $p -join ","
Maxthon,mDNSResponder,msdtc,msnmsgr,mstsc

Hi Steven,

Here is a nice one-liner for you. :-)

(get-qadgroup -Identity <groupName>) | get-qadgroupmember |
% {$names = @()} {$names += $_.name} {[string]::join(",",$names)} |
out-file c:\temp\members.txt

What about this?

[PS] C:\>[string] ((get-group -Identity Legal).members | ForEach-Object
{$_.name})
