Individual elements may be selected by key. A number of different formats are supported for selecting elements:
$hashtable["Key1"]
Using dot notation:
$hashtable.Key1
The key is not case sensitive, but it is type sensitive and will not automatically convert. For instance, consider this hashtable:
$hashtable = @{1 = 'one'}
The value one can be selected if an integer is used as the key, but not if a string is used. That is, this works:
$hashtable.1 $hashtable[1]
While this does not:
$hashtable."1" $hashtable["1"]
