Powershell output containing Curly braces gets parsed as System.String[]. How to parse and extract fields within the curly braces?

Hello,

I hope one of you here can help me out.

I have a PowerShell script which is am running via PS modular input. Some of the output is contained in curly braces, for e.g:

DNSServerOrder : {10.191.125.141, 10.192.19.250}
DNSSuffixSearch : {a.contoso.com, b.contoso.com, c.contoso.com, c.contoso.com...}
IPAddress :{192.168.5.5}

The values for these three fields show up as 'System.String[]'. I am guessing string arrays is somehow not getting parsed at index-time. Any help how to get these fields to show the values that are enclosed within the curly braces?
Thanks

Can you share the bits of PoSH writing out those strings? PowerShell has internal handlers on how to display objects and you may have to tweak your Write-Host.
