Summary: Learn how to format numeric output in Windows PowerShell by using format specifiers and numeric constants.

 How can I print the amount of free space on a fixed disk in MB with two decimal places?

 Use a format specifier as shown here:

“{0:n2}”-f ((gwmi win32_logicaldisk -Filter “drivetype=’3′”).freespace/1MB)

 What if I want to display the output in GB with three decimal places?

 Use a format specifier as shown here:

“{0:n3}”-f ((gwmi win32_logicaldisk -Filter “drivetype=’3′”).freespace/1GB)

 I like big numbers. Can I display it in KB and have five decimal places?

 Use a format specifier as shown here:

“{0:n5}”-f ((gwmi win32_logicaldisk -Filter “drivetype=’3′”).freespace/1KB)

 I want something simple. Can I print the amount of free space on a fixed disk in MB in whole numbers?

 No need for a format specifier, as shown here:

[int] ((gwmi win32_logicaldisk -Filter “drivetype=’3′”).freespace/1MB)
