This chapter is all about leveraging the information available to you in PowerCLI. As much as any other topic, figuring out how to tap into the data that PowerCLI offers is as important as understanding the cmdlets and syntax of the language. However, once you obtain your data, you will need to alter the formatting and how it's returned to be used. This is something you've been doing to some extent throughout the book so far with Select
statements. PowerShell, and by extension PowerCLI, offers a big set of ways to control the formatting and the display of information returned by its cmdlets and data objects. You will explore all of these topics with the recipes in this chapter.
