Switch Parameter

[jasonv]

Hi;

I created a script that uses [switch] within the Parameters statement and it does not work when built as an .EXE file. So I tested this using a script directly from your blog and verified that there appears to be an issue.

Here is the blog link ...

Here is the script ...

Param
(
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[String]$Word,

[int]$Number = 1,

[Switch]$AddSpace
)

$space = ''
if ($AddSpace){ $space = ' ' }

1..$Number | foreach { "$Word$space" * $_}

Here are results ...

PS H:\Scripts\PSScripts\Testing> .\Parameters.exe -Word PowerShell -Number 3 -AddSpace
PowerShell
PowerShellPowerShell
PowerShellPowerShellPowerShell

PS H:\Scripts\PSScripts\Testing> .\Parameters.ps1 -Word PowerShell -Number 3 -AddSpace
PowerShell
PowerShell PowerShell
PowerShell PowerShell PowerShell

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks. - Jason

My apologies ... never mind it appears this this is known behavior. I need to replace switch value with string values. I wasn't reading carefully. The original editor I was using required a -Arguments parameter to pass all parameters.

Thanks - Jason

(1..3 | foreach {'powershell'}) -join ' '
