Why is powershell giving an incorrect length of this array

I have read here that when we read in the contents of .txt file using the get-content cmdlet into a variable, it is saved as an Array:

When Get-Content reads a text file and stashes the contents in a variable, the data is stored as an array, with each line in the file (determined by the presence of a carriage return-linefeed character) representing a single item in the array.

I read in the contents of the text file using get-content, and 4 lines were printed to the powershell console.

Then I read in the contents of the same file into a variable ips, and then used the ips.length as well as ips.count, 7 was printed out.

What am I missing?

There is a blank line at the top and two at the bottom of your content. These, plus the four lines of content = count/length 7
