Chapter 4. Life on the Assembly Line

The object-oriented pipeline is one of the distinctive features of the PowerShell environment. The ability to refer to properties of arbitrary objects without parsing increases the expressiveness of the language and allows you to work with all kinds of objects with ease.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • How the pipeline works

  • Some of the most common cmdlets to deal with data on the pipeline:

    • Sort-Object

    • Where-Object

    • Select-Object

    • Group-Object
