Powershell function

Hello,

I am a newbies about powershell script but I would like to understand how to do one thing.

I'd like to send a value by email from powershell.

I found a very nice function and I'd like to put the result of this function in my email body. My email is ready and works, no problem with that.

I do not know how I can get the result. I though I need to get function result into variable and use this variable for my email but I do not know how to do that and I am not sure I need to do that.

Please see below the function:

Function ConvertTo-Char
(
      $Array
)
{
      $output = ""
      ForEach($char in $Array)
      {      $Output += [char]$char -join ""
      }
      return $Output
}

$Query = Get-WmiObject -Query "Select * FROM WMIMonitorID" -Namespace root\wmi

$Results = ForEach ($Monitor in $Query)
{
      New-Object PSObject -Property @{
            Manufacturer = ConvertTo-Char($Monitor.ManufacturerName)
            UserFriendlyName = ConvertTo-Char($Monitor.userfriendlyname)
            SerialNumber = ConvertTo-Char($Monitor.serialnumberid)
      }
}

$Results | Select Manufacturer,UserFriendlyName,SerialNumber

I'd like to get monitor information and send by email.

Thank you in advance for your help

Thank you very much! It is working perfectly!

Now I will try to find how to modify result format because in my email, all values from $monitorstring are in the same line:

Monitor(s): Manufacturer UserFriendlyName SerialNumber ------------ ---------------- ------------ DEL DELL P2210 W416K05K0TDM SNY SDM-P232W 7701720

Thanks again for your help!
