How to get current path in powershell into a variable

(I don't speak English. Hope you understand.)

Hi, I have a powershell script(.ps1) and it needs to work with the current path(e.g. "C:\Users\user\Desktop"). I don't know how to set it into a variable. I know the variable $PWD, but it is:

Path
----
C:\Users\user\Desktop

and I need it without 'Path ----'.

Thank you for the answers, Andrew

Here are some ways to do that. basically you just need to expand the path property.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $PWD
Path
----
C:\WINDOWS\system32
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $PWD.Path
C:\WINDOWS\system32
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $PWD | select -Expand Path
C:\WINDOWS\system32
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> (get-location).path
C:\WINDOWS\system32
