Working with Variables

[Shift838]

I am working on extracting a variable with powershell for a Citrix farm.

I use:

$farmname = Get-XAFarm | Select-Object farmname

this puts the below into the variable

FarmName
--------
MY FARM NAME HERE

I just need to pull the farm name itself or trim the rest off. So i don't need:

FarmName
--------

Is there a way to only get what I need?

What do you get with:

$farmname = Get-XAFarm

Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Show us the contents of the function Get-XAFarm.

Carl,
I'm sure what you're asking for. Get-XAFarm is a cmdlet from the Citrix XenApp snapin

However, this is what I get when I run the command:

## Add Citrix Snapin
Add-PSSnapin Citrix.XenApp.Commands

## Get the farm object
PS C:\> $farm = Get-XAFarm
PS C:\> $farm
[indent][i]
FarmName          : <My Farm Name>
ServerVersion     : 6.5.0
AdministratorType : Full
MachineName       : <My Server>
[/i][/indent]

## Get the farm name as a string
PS C:\> $farmname = $farm.farmname
PS C:\> $farmname

[indent][i]<My Farm Name>[/i][/indent]

Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
