How to access in this array of objects

Question

I have this part of code -

$result = Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | 
    Select-Object DisplayName, Publisher, InstallDate, UnistallString | 
    Where-Object InstallDate -GT 20180201 | 
    Where-Object UnistallDate -NotMatch " " | 
    Sort-Object -Property InstallDate -Descending | 
    Format-Table –AutoSize
$result

With the result of this command I get an array of objects, but if I try to access in it I get no result.

Example: $result.UnisistallString. How can I access in it to get only the attributes of that parameter? Because with that then I need to print on video the name of the program and the unistall path.

| Format-Table –AutoSize - remove this part.

You should not use the Format-Table cmdlet if you need to access the data in your code later. Also you have a typo in your example and the select statement. This should work:

$result = Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | 
    Select-Object DisplayName, Publisher, InstallDate, UninstallString | 
    Where-Object InstallDate -GT 20180201 |  
    Sort-Object -Property InstallDate -Descending

Now Access it using:

$result.UninstallString

Still cant access to that, if i run the script i get 0 result on display

I'll try to explain, after the get-itemproperty i should access to the array to print only the name of the program and his unistall path. But if i cant access to the array i cant print that

I also tried to use the get-wmiobject for the same purpose, but after the query i cant access to any property of the result

As I wrote, please try my code again, I had to fix another typo that you made in the select statement.

Where-Object UnistallDate -NotMatch " " is not doing any good here since there is no UnistallDate property even if it was spelled correctly....
