    <maml:description>
      <maml:para>The `Assert-BlockString` command compares a string, here-string or array of strings with the expected string, here-string or array of strings and throws an error that includes the hex output if they are not equal. The comparison is case sensitive. It is commonly used in unit testing scenarios to verify the correctness of string outputs on byte level.</maml:para>

        <dev:code>Assert-BlockString -Actual 'hello', 'world' -Expected 'Hello', 'World'</dev:code>
        <dev:remarks>
          <maml:para>This example asserts that the array of strings 'hello' and 'world' matches the expected array of strings 'Hello' and 'World'. If the assertion fails, an error is thrown.</maml:para>

        <maml:title>-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------</maml:title>
        <dev:code>'hello', 'world' | Assert-BlockString -Expected 'Hello', 'World'</dev:code>
        <dev:remarks>
          <maml:para>This example demonstrates the usage of pipeline input. The block of strings 'Hello' and 'World' is piped to `Assert-BlockString` and compared with the expected strings 'Hello' and 'World'. If the assertion fails, an error is thrown.</maml:para>
