Powershell how to print value of name in custom command

I have a command cf apps that outputs

This is the true output

name                                               requested state   processes   routes

accountdivisioncalculator__pte01__performance__0   started           web:2/2     accountdivisioncalculator-pte01.dev.schwab.tech, accountdivisioncalculator-pte01-e2e-ad00007734.scp2-test-app-bdv.dev.schwab.com
accountdivisioncalculator__qae01__e2e__0           started           web:1/1

How do I access all values of name, and then loop each app name

So the idea is to get the list of all app names and run the cf delete <app_name> so that I can avoid the hassle to delete the apps one by one.

This is the sample output after in run the command

Preface:

• The solution below uses text parsing to convert the tabular text output to objects.

• Such an approach is best avoided, but cannot always be, namely if the source CLI lacks support for outputting a structured text format, such as JSON or CSV; indeed that seems to be the case for the CloudFoundry cf, as of this writing.

Use the following, which makes the following assumptions, which are consistent with your sample data:

• Column-header as well as data-row fields must be separated by two or more spaces.

# Initialize helper variables.
$propNames = $null
$ohtTemplate = [ordered] @{}

# Parse the tabular CLI output into objects.
$appInfos = 
  cf apps | 
    Where-Object { $_ } | # remove empty lines
    ForEach-Object {
      $fields = ($_ -split ' {2,}').Trim()
      if ($null -eq $propNames) { 
        $propNames = $fields
        foreach ($propName in $propNames) {
          $ohtTemplate[$propName] = $null
        }
        return 
      }
      foreach ($i in 0..($propNames.Count-1)) {
        if ($i -lt $fields.Count) {
          $ohtTemplate[$propNames[$i]] = $fields[$i]
        }
        else {
          $ohtTemplate[$propNames[$i]] = $null
        }
      }
      [pscustomobject] $ohtTemplate
    }

# Output the resulting objects, for visual inspection.
$appInfos

The above emits custom objects whose property names correspond to the table header, and whose values contain a row's column values (which are all stored as strings).

PowerShell's for-display output-formatting system conveniently renders the resulting objects as follows:

name                                             requested state processes routes
----                                             --------------- --------- ------

accountdivisioncalculator__qae01__e2e__0         started         web:1/1   

To get just the names, for instance, as an array, using member-access enumeration, use $appInfos.name:

# Output from `$appInfos.name`
accountdivisioncalculator__pte01__performance__0
accountdivisioncalculator__qae01__e2e__0

To get just the first app's name, use $appInfos[0].name.

Of course, you can use $appInfos | ForEach-Object { <# work with $_ #> }, foreach ($app in $appInfos) { <# work with $app #> } or $appInfos.ForEach({ <# work with $_ #> }), as usual, to iterate over all app infos.
