Access Elements of an Array

Problem

You want to access the elements of an array.

Solution

To access a specific element of an array, use PowerShell’s array access mechanism:

PS >$myArray = 1,2,"Hello World" PS >$myArray[1] 2

To access a range of array elements, use array ranges and array slicing:

PS >$myArray = 1,2,"Hello World" PS >$myArray[1..2 + 0] 2 Hello World 1

Discussion

PowerShell’s array access mechanisms provide a convenient way to access either specific elements of an array or more complex combinations of elements in that array. In PowerShell (as with most other scripting and programming languages), the item at index 0 represents the first item in the array.

Although working with the elements of an array by their numerical index is helpful, you may find it useful to refer to them by something else—such as their name, or even a custom label. This type of array is known as an associative array (or hashtable).
