In this Webinar we are going to cover the following:

• Variables
• User Input
• If Statements
• Switch Statements
• Writing to the console (echo / write-host)
• For Loops
• ForEach Loops
• Progress Bars
• Sleep
• Create Directories
• OGV (Out-GridView
• Importing Spreadsheets (CSV)
• Sub-expression operators

Code listed below:

# PowerShell Examples

# Read user input
$Input = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your first name"
Write-Host "Hello $Input, it is nice to meet you!"

# If statement
if(1 -eq 2) {
    Write-Host "True"
} else {
    Write-Host "False"
}

# Combine user input with read host"
$Input = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your first name"
if("$Input" -eq "Paul") {
    Write-Host "I know who Paul is!"
} else {
    Write-Host "I am sorry... I dont know who $Input is."
}

# Switch statement
$Input = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your first name"
switch ($Input) {
    "Paul" { write-host "I know who paul is!" }
    "Joe" { write-host "I know who Joe is!" }
    "Mark" { write-host "I know who Mark is!" }
    default { write-host "I am sorry... I dont know who $Input is..." }
}


# For loop
for ($i = 1; $i -le 100; $i++ )
{
    Write-Host "$i"
    $i++
}

# Progress counter
for ($i = 1; $i -le 100; $i++ )
{
    Write-Progress -Activity "Search in Progress" -Status "$i% Complete:" -PercentComplete $i;
    sleep -Milliseconds 50
}

# Create folders with prefix
$Prefix = Read-Host -Prompt "Prefix of the folders you want to create"
$Count = Read-Host -Prompt "Prefix of the folders you want to create"


for ($i = 1; $i -le $Count; $i++ )
{
    mkdir "$($Prefix)_$($i)"
}

# Read CSV file input
$csv = Import-Csv -Path ""
