If you need to return multiple items in a nicely formatted text report, here is a simple trick: get yourself an ordered hash table (supported in PowerShell 3.0 or better), assign the items you want to output, and then convert it into an object. This object can then easily be formatted as text:
$info = [Ordered]@{} $info.'BIOS Serial' = (Get-WmiObject Win32_BIOS).SerialNumber $info.'Currently logged-in user' = $env:username $info.'Date of day' = Get-Date $info.Remark = 'Some remark' New-Object PSObject -Property $info | Format-List | Out-String
The result looks like this:
BIOS Serial : 5TQLM32 Currently logged-in user : Tobias Date of day : 05.01.2016 11:52:02 Remark : Some remark
