I am new to Powershell.
I have the following script. I am trying to determine the powershell "code" to identify which, if any, "field" is an array or hashtable.
The result is
What property/parameter??? identifies img, and entries as "fields" whose values are arrays???
I'm trying to identify such fields (subarrays) without explicitly knowing each and every field name.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I have found an answer to this.
which gives this result:
