In PowerCLI, even a string is an object. You can list the members of a string object using the Get-Member cmdlet that you have seen before. Let's go back to our example in Chapter 2, Learning Basic PowerCLI Concepts. First, we create a string "Learning PowerCLI" and put it in a variable called $String. Then, we take this $String variable and execute the Get-Member cmdlet using the $String variable as the input:

PowerCLI C:\> $String = "Learning PowerCLI"
PowerCLI C:\> Get-Member -Inputobject $String

You can also use the pipeline and do it in a single line, as follows:

PowerCLI C:\> "Learning PowerCLI" | Get-Member

The output will be the following:

   TypeName: System.String

Name             MemberType            Definition
