One of the events in this years scripting games involved creating a set of files. Many of the entries did something like this
|
001
002 003 |
$files = @("file1.txt", "file2.txt", "file3.txt", "file4.txt", "file5.txt",
"file6.txt", "file7.txt", "file8.txt", "file9.txt", "file10.txt") foreach ($file in $files) {New-Item -Path c:\test -Name $file -ItemType File} |
A list of files is created and a foreach is used to call New-Item. A variant on this used a for loop
for ($i=0; $i –le 9; $i++){New-Item -Path c:\test -Name $files[$i] -ItemType File}
There is a much easier way
|
001
|
1..10 | foreach {New-Item -Path c:\test -Name "file$_.txt" -ItemType File}
|
Whenever you have to deal with lists of things that are numerically sequential – try to use the range operator.
