Examples

-------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------

This command gets all tasks and uses Select-Object to display just the name of each of them.

C:\PS>get-task | select-object name

-------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------

This command gets all tasks and uses Where-Object to filter for tasks in the category "maintenance" which are enabled. It then passes the results along the pipeline to Format-Table which selects the displayname property and displays the results in a tabular format.

C:\PS>get-task |
where-object {$_.category -eq "maintenance" -and $_.enabled -eq "true"} |
format-table displayname
