Using this code I get the desired result:
Get-Service | select Name,Status
But the following code will not work, do you know why? I want the user to choose his own selection of attributes. I store the attributes in a variable like shown below. But it won't work:
$param = "Name,Status"
Get-Service | select $param
You have to create an array of the properties you want to select:
$param = "Name","Status"
Get-Service | select $param
Or you can split the string yourself to create an array:
$param = "Name,Status"
Get-Service | select ($param -split ',')
You could also create a hash table, like this:
$params = @{Property=@('Name','Status')}
Get-Service | Select @params
And even add some extra parameters, like this:
$params = @{
Property=@('Name','Status');
First=10;
}
Get-Service | Select @params
