NOTES
    
    
        
    
    Example 1: Convert format of a string
    
    PS C:\>$Names = "Evan Narvaez","David Chew","Elisa Daugherty"
    Convert-String -InputObject $Names -Example "Patti Fuller = Fuller, P."
    Narvaez, E. 
    Chew, D. 
    Daugherty, E.
    
    The first command creates an array named $Names that contains first and last names.
    
    The second command formats the names in $Names according to the example. It puts the surname first in the output, 
    followed by an initial.
    Example 2: Format process information
    
    PS C:\>$Processes = Get-Process -Name "svchost" | Select-Object -Property processname, id | ConvertTo-Csv 
    -NoTypeInformation
    PS C:\> $Processes | Convert-String -Example '"svchost", "219"=219, s.'
    716, s. 
    892, s. 
    908, s. 
    1004, s.
    ...
    
    The first command gets processes named svchost by using the Get-Process cmdlet. The command passes them to the 
    Select-Object cmdlet, which selects the process name and process ID. The command converts the output to comma 
    separated values without type information by using the ConvertTo-Csv cmdlet. The command stores the results in the 
    $Processes variable. $Processes now contains SVCHOST and PID.
    
    The second command specifies an example that changes the order of the items and abbreviates svchost. The command 
    coverts each string in $Processes .
