| | Problem with Measure-Object on get-process Hi PowerScripters ! I have a strange problem when I run this command : get-process notepad | format-list * | measure-object The result is always : 5 Although when I just try "get-process notepad | format-list *" I have a lot of properties, and not only five ! What's the problem ? Arnaud PS: of course, the notepad is launched before... |

| | RE: Problem with Measure-Object on get-process The format-* cmdlets are designed to be used only at the end of the pipeline, not in the middle. You can use something like this instead to measure properties: PS> get-process notepad | gm -membertype *property* | measure-object -- greetings dreeschkind "A.

| | RE: Problem with Measure-Object on get-process Well, they are designed but not limited to be used at the end of the pipeline! ;-) It is not forbidden to use the format-* cmdlets in the middle of the pipeline, but in general you do not need/want this. The objects produced by the format-* cmdlets are consumed by the formatting engine. I just wanted to show you what is really going on behind the scenes in case you were wondering. -- greetings dreeschkind "A.
