get-netadapter | get-member
Alternately, you can get all of the current properties of any existing object by piping to 'select' (to get a general subset) or 'select * ' to get all properties. Note that this gives all information for the objects in the pipeline.
get-netadapter | select
get-netadapter | select *
'Select' can also be used to easily filter the properties of items in the pipeline to ones you care about.
get-netadapter | select Name, MacAddress
And ultimately, if you want to use powershell to do the stuff that typed objects are good at, and then leverage command line tools to do the rest, you can if you like.
get-netadapter | select Name, MacAddress | exportto-csv
There's a bunch of subtle distinctions like that which don't sound impressive but end up being really nice when working with it.
I don't know, I never had any problems with text parsing. I love strong types in programming languages, but in system administration I think it would only get in the way. But as I said, never tried it, so I might be missing something.
> Can I take the value, convert it to string, make some magic on it and convert it to another object entirely?
Get-ChildItem *.js | Get-Content | Select-Regex 'require\("(?<Require>.*?)"\)' | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Require
Ultimately, Microsoft provides WMI cmdlets[2]. You'd have strong types from the get-go and wouldn't need resort to this string silliness.

How so?
gci *.js | foreach { gc $_ | foreach { if ($_ -match ..) { $Matches...
sls 'require\("(.*?)"\)' *.js | select { $_.Matches.groups[1] }
I don't see why this would be a problem for PowerShell. Just use Select-String to strip away the characters you're not interested in. The advantages that derive from passing around objects aren't based on all data being automatically in the format you want.

You use the exact same functions (first, last, substring, replace, etc) as you would normally. Then the rest of the pipeline has it available if needed.
