Ranged letters

Posted by: | June 7, 2010 | No Comment |

While I was playing around with the range operator I thought of this

001
002
003
004
005
$start = [byte][char]"a"
$finish = [byte][char]"h"

$start..$finish | 
foreach {New-Item -Path c:\test -Name "file$([char]$_).txt" -ItemType File}

 

Define your start and finish letters. Convert each to a char and then a byte.  This gives us the numeric value of the letter (ascii code).

We can then use those values in the range operator and create the files as we have already seen.
