如何将PS对象输出为自定义格式的字符串

Question

I have an object with a set of properties (depth: 1). How to output the object as a string in a format like this:

{property1_name:property1_value} {property2_name:property2_value} {property3_name...

(the above is a single line, but property values can of course have newlines/carriage returns etc)

Let's assume I do not know the property names, they can change.

Thank you!

It'll actually depend on what object you're looking through. I tested this out on a csv, and it works decently, although you may want to do some minor formatting for a different type of object.

$csv |
    Get-Member |
    Where-Object {$_.MemberType -eq "NoteProperty"} |
    Select-Object -Property Name | 
    ForEach-Object {
        "{" + $_.Name + " : " + $csv.($_.Name) + "}"
    }

For example, depending on what you see when you do $csv | Get-Member $csv | Get-Member , you may want to change NoteProperty to Property or something else. This should probably work though.

Note that you also have to change the name of the variable (currently $csv ) in two places.
