A data.table object is very similar to a data frame in R, therefore, converting a data.table object to a matrix is not a difficult job. We just need to use as.matrix function and store the data.table object into a new object that will belong to the matrix, otherwise R will not be able to convert the data.object to a matrix. For example, if we have a data.table object DT then to convert it into a matrix, we should use the below example code −DT_matrix
Read MoreHow does PowerShell Pipeline work – Part 2?
In part-1 we have seen the PowerShell pipeline functionality using the ValueFromPipeline property. There is another cmdlet property known as ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName, which is also useful to know the PowerShell pipeline functionality.Like part-1 command, we can get this property name using the same Get-Command but the filter parameter we will use for the property is ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName.The below example is for the Stop-Service cmdlet.(Get-Command Stop-Service).ParameterSets.parameters | where{$_.ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName -eq 'True'} | Select Name, ParameterTypeOutputName ParameterType ---- ------------- Name System.String[]This means you can use Name property to stop the service. So here we will use Get-Service and its Name property to retrieve services and ...

For example, Get-Service | Out-File c:\services.txtIn the above example, we are passing Get-Service output as an object to the Out-File command which is the right side of the Pipeline as the Input. Before going into detail about how the Pipeline works, we need to understand that every command we write produces output and that output is already formatted by the PowerShell using Pipeline.For example, Get-Process ...
