PowerShell: Is there an automatic variable for the last execution result?

Question

I\'m looking for a feature comparable to Python interactive shell\'s \"_\" variable. In PowerShell I want something like this:

> Get-Something # this returns          


        

Answer 1

You can also print the result of the command and capture the output object(s) using the OutVariable parameter, later on then use $anObj to display the variable content.

Get-Something -OutVariable anObj
