title: powershell select-string not working correctly
body: <p>I'm a beginner to powershell and having I suspect what will be a simple problem. I'm trying to do the following command, but it returns nothing as a result and I don't understand why.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to get the description of the current section of bcdedit. If I do:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-powershell prettyprint-override"><code>bcdedit /enum | select-string "identifier.*current" -context 0,3  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It returns the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; identifier {current}  
  device partition=C:  
  path \WINDOWS\system32\winload.exe  
  description Windows 8.1  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So why doesn't the following return <code>description Windows 8.1</code>?</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-powershell prettyprint-override"><code>bcdedit /enum | select-string "identifier.*current" -context 0,3 | select-string "description"  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Instead it returns nothing at all.  </p>
  
  <p>Any information on this would be appreciated.</p>
