Measure-Object

Calculates the numeric properties of objects, and the characters, words, and lines in string objects, such as files of text. This command can only be used through PowerShell. More information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/measure-object.

  • Count the files and folders in a directory:

Get-ChildItem | Measure-Object

  • Pipe input to Measure-Command (objects that are piped to Measure-Command are available to the script block that is passed to the Expression parameter):

"One", "Two", "Three", "Four" | Set-Content -Path "{{path/to/file}}"; Get-Content "{{path/to/file}}"; | Measure-Object -Character -Line -Word
