Convert a hashtable string into a hashtable object.
Convert-HashtableString [-Text] <String> [<CommonParameters>]This function is similar to Import-PowerShellDataFile. But where that command can only process a file, this command will take any hashtable-formatted string and convert it into an actual hashtable.
