Arrys in Powershell

Hun9865 · Nov 25, 2012

I used to do array in VBSCRIPT like below… I am not sure how I should do it in PowerShell… Can any help me out…?

Code:

dim arrErrors(12)
arrErrors(0) = "APP0"
arrErrors(1) = " APP1"
arrErrors(2) = " APP2"
arrErrors(3) = " APP3”
arrErrors(4) = "APP4"
arrErrors(5) = "APP5"
arrErrors(6) = "APP6"
arrErrors(7) = "APP7"
arrErrors(8) = "APP8"
arrErrors(9) = "APP9"
arrErrors(10) = "APP10"
arrErrors(11) = "APP11"
arrErrors(12) = "APP12"
for i = 0 to ubound(arrErrors)
	strError = arrErrors(i)
	if (left(lcase(strErrorLine), len(strError)) = lcase(strError)) then
	objErrorLog.WriteLine strErrorLine & vbTab & strComputer & vbTab & "Found Error number" & vbTab & i
	exit for
	end If

Here is the comparision:

Vbscript: array.vbs

PowerShell: array.ps1

Code:

[COLOR=#0000ff]# run:[/color]
[COLOR=#0000ff]# powershell -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned .\array.ps1[/color]
 
$arrErrors = @([COLOR=#ff00ff]"APP0"[/color], [COLOR=#ff00ff]"APP1"[/color], [COLOR=#ff00ff]"APP2"[/color], [COLOR=#ff00ff]"APP3"[/color], [COLOR=#ff00ff]"APP4"[/color],

$strErrorLine = [COLOR=#ff00ff]"APP5 Error Line!"[/color]
$strComputer  = [COLOR=#ff00ff]"PC1"[/color]

for ($i = 0; $i -lt $arrErrors.length; $i++ ) {
  $strError = $arrErrors[$i]
  if ($strErrorLine.ToLower().StartsWith($strError.ToLower())) {
    echo [COLOR=#ff00ff]"$strErrorLine`t$strComputer`tFound Error number`t$i"[/color]
    exit
  }
}

The output

Code:

C:\Work\PowerShell>cscript /NoLogo array.vbs
APP5 Error Line!        PC1     Found Error number      5

C:\Work\PowerShell>powershell -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned .\array.ps1
APP5 Error Line!        PC1     Found Error number      5
