A: If you have a large number of objects and need to get a count of them or generate statistics on them, you have a couple options.
The first is to pass the output to the PowerShell measure-object cmdlet. Here it is in action, showing what it returned:
PS C:\>
get-command | measure-object
Count : 994
Average :
Sum :
Maximum :
Minimum :
Property :
Another way would be to just get the count property of the command. You enter the following command and it returns just the count property, which you can see below:
PS C:\> (get-command).count
994
Other options exist, such as using a custom variable incrementing, but the above two options are probably the easiest.
