The format commands support the same calculated properties Semtex as select object.
In addition to the an or a name or Al or label as you recall and E-4 expression keys you can specify
all the keys to control the appearance of the output.
These keys are for lists and labels for metry in this case specifies the format string.
For example capital and to specify specifies the number that has two decimal places for tables as Lyme
specifies the table alignment left right and center are valid values for tables.
Reith's specifies maximum call on which is the table colon may be narrower if no data item requires
less pissy fight with longer data or maybe truncated for example get processed pipe formit table.
There's property name Karma ID and take calculated property here.
Equals to the M in megabytes it equals two beers.
Item Doughtery am divided by 1 megabyte.
For my downstream equals and two and a line equals right and real auto size all this and that command
produces output of three Cowens with name ID and we mean megabytes.
So it's about sort it and group tables form a table helper group by parameter that accepts a property
name every time the value of the property changes.
The command produces and use set of table header.
For example get service pipe for my table.
There's group by stertorous so that the group will change only once per unit.
Well you real typical is sort of the objects on the property before formatting them for example get
service by source status by former table group by stertorous for a much wider and formit list also support
a group by parameter.
Let's take a look on demonstration examples with group by parameter.
So to display a list of services grouped by status and not to sort the objects we could type get serviced
by form a table group by status.
And the second example to display a list of services sorted by status and grouped by status we could
target service by sword status by form a table those group by status.
No question select or format.
There is overlap in functionality between the selector object command and the format and commands most
except a property list that controls the properties displayed Boskin except custom or calculated properties.
You select object when you have a have to pipe objects to any command other than a format and command.
For example if you have a if you have to sort filter and you married export or convert objects use select
object to select Properties and create calculated properties.
Use formatting commands only when you are finished working with the object and are ready to display
them on the screen or in a plain text file.
You'll learn more about the differences between formatting commands and select objects in the next section.
