Powershell get scheduled task jobs on remote computer

Question

Hello guys!
I couldn't find any answer or question about this, I need to query scheduled jobs on server (2008R2) with name which contains variables.
I can get list of jobs, but I don't know how to display only that I need.  For example, there is job $something.$RandomText.$RandomNumbers, So I'm trying to filter jobs by name ($something).
Script which I found is:
$sched = New-Object -Com "Schedule.Service"
$sched.Connect('remote server')
$out = @()
$sched.GetFolder("\").GetTasks(0) | % {
$xml = [xml]$_.xml
$out += New-Object psobject -Property @{
"Name" = $_.Name
"Status" = switch($_.State) {0 {"Unknown"} 1 {"Disabled"} 2 {"Queued"} 3 {"Ready"} 4 {"Running"}}
"NextRunTime" = $_.NextRunTime
"LastRunTime" = $_.LastRunTime
"LastRunResult" = $_.LastTaskResult
"Author" = $xml.Task.Principals.Principal.UserId
"Created" = $xml.Task.RegistrationInfo.Date
And one more thing, I'm using windows 7, so I can't use get-SceduledTasks function. 
Maybe there is some simpler way to do this?
Best regards,
Ronald

Just see the values in $out and check the Name. The name may differ.No results will be produced if it;s not eq to your $something
$sched = New-Object -Com "Schedule.Service"
$sched.Connect($env:ComputerName)
$something = 'GoogleUpdateTaskMachineCore'
$out = @()
$sched.GetFolder("\").GetTasks(0) | % {
$xml = [xml]$_.xml
$out += New-Object psobject -Property @{
"Name" = $_.Name
"Status" = switch($_.State) {0 {"Unknown"} 1 {"Disabled"} 2 {"Queued"} 3 {"Ready"} 4 {"Running"}}
"NextRunTime" = $_.NextRunTime
"LastRunTime" = $_.LastRunTime
"LastRunResult" = $_.LastTaskResult
"Author" = $xml.Task.Principals.Principal.UserId
"Created" = $xml.Task.RegistrationInfo.Date
$out | ? {$_.Name -eq "$something"}
