The Iif Statement is a pretty important, if you are creating powershell scripts. So I created this post to get some basic information here.
First the syntax with a simple if:
if (condition) {do}
You can also use elseif and else:
if (condition) {do}
elseif (condition) {do}
else {do}
A simple if could look like this:
if ($varibale -eq "1") {
Write-Host "Yes variable is 1"
}
Comparison Operators:
- Equal to:
-eq - Less than:
-lt - Greater than:
-gt - Greater than or Eqaul to:
-ge - Less than or equal to:
-le - Not equal to:
-ne
You can also check case-sensitive by adding a “c” to the operator. “-eq” would be “-ceq”
Logical Operators:
- Not
-not - Not
! - And
-and - Or
-or
So you can simply add multiple conditions:
if ($varibale -eq "1" -or $varibale -eq "2") {
Write-Host "Varibale is 1 or 2"
}
