Like all windows partial commands that produce output the format commands produce objects that go to
the pipeline.
However unlike most commands the format commands produce a very specified and spits civilized kind of
object only a few other windows power shell commands.
Understand this specialized for and objects therefore for a few other commands can receive the output
of a format command.
Make sure you always remember these two facts format commands produce a specialized kind of output.
And the second fact is only a few other commands can receive the output over format command.
Here is a common mistake made by many vendors power shall begin and the users get pro-ISIS by format
table dish proper to name my DVM PM this ostracise and pipe it to convert to H-2 mail and pipe it to
out file on C. drive.
For example Gross's is not HDMI out.
The intent is to produce an 20:00 table.
However this command produces on usable output because converters Jarmo can not receive the output of
a format command.
Now lets take a look at some demonstration examples with format commands.
You'll see how format commands produce a specialized kind of object that can not be accepted by most
other commands.
So in first example a use get mamber to examine the output of get proses to do that type Get process
BYB get member.
Notice that the output displays a type name and familiar Lukan members.
Now let's use GET member to examine the output of get process and pipe it to select object by property
name and ID to do that real time.
Get Prozess pipe.
Select name my ID and pipe it to get mamber.
Please notice that the output type name is similar and that few are properties are listed now.
Now let's use get membered to examine the output of that process and pipe it to form a table by property
name and ID.
So let's type Get process pipe F.T. name coma ID and pipe it to get member.
Please notice that the output is completely different now from the previous example.
The next example lets from get through.
Pipe it to form a table by property name and they do.
And pipe it to expert sales.
The two products DOCSIS 3 file to do that let's drive get process pipe F.T. name call my ID and pipe
it to experts say sleep Rog's DOT says.
Now let's open a note about that file that's died.
Note.
But proc that says.
Please notice now that the format object not the process objects are converted to comma separated 12
or C Theophile.
