Display all environment variables from a running PowerShell script


I need to display all configured environment variables in a PowerShell script at runtime. Normally when displaying environment variables I can just use one of the following at the shell (among other techniques, but these are simple):

gci env:*
ls Env:

However, I have a script being called from another program, and when I use one of the above calls in the script, instead of being presented with environment variables and their values, I instead get a list of System.Collections.DictionaryEntry types instead of the variables and their values. Inside of a PowerShell script, how can I display all environment variables?


Solution

  • Shorter version:

    gci env:* | sort-object name
    

    This will display both the name and value.
