Assign Object to Variable in Windows PowerShell Scripts

Q

How to assign an object to a variable in Windows PowerShell scripts?

✍: FYIcenter.com

A

The output object of a cmdlet can be assigned to a variable using the assignment operator "=".

Remember, variable names must start with the "$" sign. So here is an example of assign a DateTime object to a variable: 

$now = Get-Date
$now | format-list -Property TimeOfDay

Running the above script will return something like: 

TimeOfDay : 22:06:45.1984174
