select-object quirk

Richard Siddaway Profile: Richard Siddaway

I was working with the new CIM cmdlets in PowerShell 3 CTP and mistyped a command (as I thought)

Get-Cimclass win32_operatingsystem | select -ExpandProperty methods | select -f 1 select -ExpandProperty Qualifiers

My surprise was because of the two uses of select without a pipe between them.  It works, I don’t know why – but I don’t recommend it
