Solution 1
Get-ChildItem hkcu:\Test\Universe\Datawink\Switch1\Devices | ForEach-Object {Get-ItemProperty $_.pspath} | where-object {$_.Device} | Foreach-Object {$_.Device}
will give you the requested output.
(In your example the Where-Object is not really required)
Solution 2
This should work as well:
$path = 'hkcu:\Test\Universe\Datawink\Switch1\Devices'
Get-ChildItem $path | Get-ItemProperty | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Device

Using the following powershell script:
Get-ChildItem hkcu:\Test\Universe\Datawink\Switch1\Devices | ForEach-Object {Get-ItemProperty $_.pspath}
I am able to get the following output:
PSPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Test\Universe\Datawink\Switch1\Devices\Entry1 PSParentPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Test\Universe\Datawink\Switch1\Devices PSChildName : Entry1 PSProvider : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry Device : 2882881001 Recordable : Yes Active : Yes PSPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Test\Universe\Datawink\Switch1\Devices\Entry2 PSParentPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Test\Universe\Datawink\Switch1\Devices PSChildName : Entry2 PSProvider : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry Device : 2882881002 PSPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Test\Universe\Datawink\Switch1\Devices\Entry3 PSParentPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Test\Universe\Datawink\Switch1\Devices PSChildName : Entry3 PSProvider : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry Device : 2882881003
Which is great, it's showing me the infomation I want, but all I really need is the values of the string entry called 'Device' so all I actually want is the output of the script to look like this:
Device : 2882881001 Device : 2882881002 Device : 2882881003
or ideally, this:
2882881001 2882881002 2882881003
What's the simplest way to achieve this?
