PowerShell: Format-Table without headers

Question

In a PowerShell script, I have some objects that I pass to the Format-Table CmdLet.
The output of my script looks like this:

Something...  Operation AttributeName  AttributeValue --------- -------------  -------------- Delete    Member         John Doe  Something else... 

Since the meaning of the fields is pretty self-explanatory, I would like to remove the headers, the '---' separators and the blank lines at the beginning and at the end from the output of Format-Table.
I don't think that the CmdLet supports this (or at least if there's a parameter to do this I couldn't find it).

What would the best way to leave only the lines with the actual values from the output of Format-Table?

Answer 1

Try the -HideTableHeaders parameter to Format-Table:

gci | ft -HideTableHeaders 

(I'm using PowerShell v2. I don't know if this was in v1.)

Answer 2

Try -ExpandProperty. For example, I use this for sending the clean variable to Out-Gridview -PassThru , otherwise the variable has the header info stored. Note that these aren't great if you want to return more than one property.

An example:

Get-ADUser -filter * | select name -expandproperty name 

Alternatively, you could do this:

(Get-ADUser -filter * ).name
