# Populate a list of servers where the only thing to change between servers is the number: | |
# | |
$servers = 1..10 | %{"ccioaxpi{0:00}edc" -f $_} ` | |
+ 1..2 | %{"ccioaxpf{0:00}edc" -f $_} | |
#This is the equivelant to: | |
#$servers = 'ccioaxpi01edc','ccioaxpi02edc','ccioaxpi03edc','ccioaxpi04edc','ccioaxpi05edc','ccioaxpi06edc','ccioaxpi07edc','ccioaxpi08edc','ccioaxpi09edc','ccioaxpi10edc','ccioaxpf01edc','ccioaxpf02edc' | |
#Explanation | |
# 1..10: creates a list of numbers from 1 to 10 | |
# | %{}: shorthand foreach over the preceding list | |
# "ccioaxpi{0:00}edc" -f $_: string.Format where {0:00} says argument 0 formatted as 00, taking value from $_ (current item in foreach) | |
# `: code continues on next line | |
# +: join the following result/array to the preceding array | |
# everything else is same as above, only with different values | |
$servers | %{$_} #output contents of array to console to show what the above acheived. |
