And in case it isn't clear, specifically what you will do is this:
$foo | ft -auto | out-string | write-verbose

Use the pipeline, Luke.
$foo | Write-Verbose
That "unrolls" the object.

Yeah, problem is, the return that gets shoved into a variable appears to be an
array of System.Object?
If I simply `$foo|ft -auto` I get a nice table, but I can't execute
`Write-Verbose $foo` as a result of the System.Object type of its elements.
When I loop through element of the return, I am expecting a hash but I get
system.management.automation.pscustomobject?
The output is the return of this function:
Function Get-StatementResult
{
Param
(
[System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection] $databaseHandle,
[String] $sql
)
$databaseCommand = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand
$databaseCommand.Connection = $databaseHandle
$databaseCommand.CommandType = [System.Data.CommandType]::Text
$databaseCommand.CommandText = $sql
$reader = $databaseCommand.ExecuteReader()
$objectArray = @()
While ($reader.Read() -eq $True)
{
$hash = @{}
Foreach ($i in 0..($reader.FieldCount - 1))
{
$hash.$($reader.GetName($i)) = $reader.GetValue($i)
}
$objectArray += New-Object PSObject -property $hash
}
$databaseCommand.Cancel()
$databaseCommand = $null
Return $objectArray
}
Thanks!

Have you taken a look at Write-Verbose ???

I have a script where I simply piped a hash into a ft -auto to print it.
Now I am trying to only do this when the verbose flag is set and have all the
lines prefixed with VERBOSE:.
Is there a simple way to do this, or must I test for verbose, then iterate
through the hash?
Thanks!
