wrote this small part of code to check if file exist and contains string pattern
- Powershell Check If File Contains Strings
- Powershell Find String In Text
- Powershell Check If File Contains String Lights
But, it does not do what it should. First of all it partially recognize that path exist and secondly it does partially recognize pattern in txt file. Can you please help me?
I suspect that PATTER is partially recognizable on multiply server.(whitepaces etc) even so how to skip that?
Strange think is that it does not see that pattern is missing in file, it return NotinScope instead VerifyBelow file without this pattern
And below you can see normal pattern

Since you use plural in
$serversPing
, I suspect this variable comes from an earlier part of your code and contains a COLLECTION of servers.I would change the order of checks and start with a test to see if the file exists on that server or not:
Powershell Check If File Contains Strings
I added a
TheoTheoTest-Connection
in the foreach loop to first see if the server is online or not. If you have checked that before and the $serversPing
variable contains only servers that are online and reachable, you may skip that.8,67544 gold badges99 silver badges2222 bronze badges
Concerning the -Path of the Select-String cmdlet, you should put the value between ' :

Context:We are making an API to get a list of all VMs and the filter it, using if loops, to return only VMs with name starting only with the values in $MachineList.
The list of servers is split in 2:
- set 1: srv-a-1, srv-a-2, srv-b-1, srv-b-2, srv-c-1, srv-c-2, etc.
- set 2: tst-a-1, tst-a-2, tst-b-1, tst-b-2, tst-c-1, tst-c-2, etc.
This is the script
We're trying to return just the items which match the values in the machine list however this is returning the full list of machines (both srv* and tst*).
Help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Defining a variable with
-or
will only result in the variable containing True
, and nothing else:To store all these values you need to define your lists as arrays:
Additionally,
-contains
does not work with wildcards, you have to use -like
to use those.Type in troubleshoot in the search box and then hit Enter to navigate into it.2. How to turn off win lock. You may as well make full use of the power troubleshooter to help fix the power issue.1.

Powershell Find String In Text
The closest thing to what you're asking that I've found in the past has been the '-in' parameter of Where-Object. However, I'm not sure if it works with wildcards. You will need to test/experiment to find out.
My actual example:
Where $entries contained the large list of accounts I wanted to filter, and $accounts contained the smaller list of accounts I wanted to filter by. This command returned only the entries in $entries which contained (the 'account' attribute of) one of the accounts listed in $accounts.
I hope this makes sense. I didn't discover this on my own, but found the answer sometime ago via internet searches.

Powershell Check If File Contains String Lights
Oxford phonics world 4 pdf. Newb question about strings. I am having trouble with string searching and am coming to you guys (and gals) for help.
Long story short, I am putting together a quick script to check for DFS Replication backlogging. This all works beautifully until I encounter a Replication Group Name with a space in it. I am currently taking user input for a variable. If that input contains a space, I want to encapsulate the string in double quotes. This is what I've been messing with and none of it is working. Any thoughts?
I obtain no on screen output. Heck, even the following isn't working.
The code I am using is much more complex than the above, but this is the logic I am failing with. Any help is appreciated.
