Understanding objects

PowerShell is object-oriented, text being an object too. An object in PowerShell contains entities within it, which are called members. These members can be referred to using what is called the member access operator, which is nothing but a dot (.). In this recipe, we will look at picking members from within objects.

Since we are going to be dealing with members of objects, we will now look at one of the most important cmdlets in PowerShell: Get-Member.
