Example 1: Get variables by letter

PS C:\>Get-Variable m*

This command gets variables with names that begin with the letter m. The command also gets the value of the variables.

Example 2: Get variable values by letter

PS C:\>Get-Variable m* -ValueOnly

This command gets only the values of the variables that have names that begin with m.

Example 3: Get variables by two letters

PS C:\>Get-Variable -Include M*,P*

This command gets information about the variables that begin with either the letter M or the letter P.

Example 4: Get variables by scope

PS C:\>Get-Variable -Scope 0

PS C:\>Compare-Object (Get-Variable -Scope 0) (Get-Variable -Scope 1)

The first command gets only the variables that are defined in the local scope. It is equivalent to `Get-Variable

-Scope Local` and can be abbreviated as `gv -s 0`.

The second command uses the Compare-Object cmdlet to find the variables that are defined in the parent scope

(Scope 1) but are visible only in the local scope (Scope 0).
