If you play around with Lists or Arrays in #PowerShell here is a handy cheat sheet for accessing objects from your Array/List. More info is available here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powers... (thanks to Kevin Marquette for his thorough dive into arrays!). Apologies for the tiny text - link is above.
