Select or select-object

[Guv]

I am trying to find out the difference in using select and select-object command in powershell commands, as I have seen it used in different commands but seem to get the same result, and want to find out when should each command be used.

Such as the below command:

Get-vm | select name

Get-vm | select-object name

Whats the difference in using each of select command. Any advise on this

According to:

Get-Help Select-Object

And

Get-Help Select

They are the same...

I'm pretty sure that Select is simply an alias for Select-Object and functions exactly the same just as Dir is an alias for Get-ChildItem.

You can check a list of available aliases by typing Get-Alias
