So that is a nice short way to get comma separated output. The result is that it prints that output to the screen which is not what I was shooting for. What I really need is to be able to take that string and parse out the ID and Name headers and values and ideally display in a table. I can do this easily if I can export the data to a CSV, import and then use select-object. I was hoping to avoid the import export route if possible.

@PetSerAl Nice one. Looks like a perl hack though. ;) I think retaining some readability is more practical even at the cost of some extra lines.

@SteveKehrer You can pipe strings to ConvertFrom-Csv, and get objects without exporting and importing.
