Convert the result of select to array

Question

I have the following code.

$l = @("A", "B", "X", "Y")
echo "A,B,X`n1,2,3,4" > .\myFile # Create test file

$f = cat myFile | ConvertFrom-Csv | gm -MemberType NoteProperty | select Name
compare $l $f

$a = .... # convert $f to array
compare $l $a

How to convert the $f to array so it can be compared with an array? Bracing @(...) doesn't work.

I got the following result when compare $l and $f.

PS C:\Users\nick> compare $l $f

Replace select Name with select -Expand Name or ForEach-Object { $_.Name }.
