powershell - How to get an object's property's value by property name?

Question

In PowerShell, how do you get an object's property value by specifying its name (a string)? I want something like the following:

$obj = get-something

# View the object's members:
$obj | gm

# I could retrieve a property by doing so:
write-host $obj.SomeProp

# But for many purposes, I would really want to:
write-host $obj | Get-PropertyByName "SomeProp"

Is there something similar to "Get-PropertyByName" in PowerShell?

Answer 1

Sure

write-host ($obj | Select -ExpandProperty "SomeProp")

Or for that matter:

$obj."SomeProp"
