I know I can access environment variables in powershell using $Env. For example, I can access FOO with $Env:FOO
What I can't figure out is how to access the environment variable called FOO.BAR
$Env:FOO.BAR doesn't work. How can I access this from within Powershell?

Found the answer to my own question:
Use the .NET method to get the variable:
[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("FOO.BAR")
Jay Bazuzi : That only works if it's in `env:`. -
Get-WMIObject Win32_Environment -filter "name='foo.bar'"
-
To access any kind of PowerShell variable where the name contains non-alphanumeric characters, use the ${…} notation as in:
PS (STA-ISS) (1) > ${env:variable.with.dots} = "Hi there"
PS (STA-ISS) (2) > ${env:variable.with.dots}
Hi there
This works for variables in any drive (registry, filesystem, etc.)
Jesse Weigert : Thanks! I figured it was something simple!
