Summary<\/b>: Learn to find members of an array with the Get-Member<\/b> cmdlet in Windows PowerShell.<\/p>\n

\"Hey, I have an array of numbers: 1,2,3,4,5 that I assigned to variable $a<\/b>. When I pipe it to Get-Member: $a | gm<\/strong>,
           all I see are members for int32<\/strong>. How can I find the members of an array by using Get-Member<\/b>?<\/p>\n

\"Hey, There are two ways to do this:<\/p>\n

1. Use the uniary operator ( , <\/b>) in front of the array prior to piping it to Get-Member<\/b>:<\/p>\n

PS C:\\> $a = 1,2,3,4,5<\/p>\n

PS C:\\> ,$a | get-member<\/p>\n

2. Use the –InputObject <\/b>parameter with Get-Member<\/b>:<\/p>\n

Get-Member -InputObject $a<\/p>\n
