<#PSScriptInfo .VERSION 1.01 .GUID ee32954e-ad9a-40c3-869b-4c7293d5f88d .AUTHOR David Dean <david@sycho.net> .DESCRIPTION A handy function for creating a temporary array ($blah) from a list of arbitrary data (i.e. email addresses), useful for running a loop against. After loading the function (or adding to your PowerShell profile), execute the function by typing 'blah' then pasting in a list of data that you want to perform a common command against. For example, from an Excel spreadsheet, just ensure there are no leading or trailing spaces in the data. Then run a foreach against $blah: foreach ($b in $blah) {get-recipient $b} or $blah|%{get-recipient $_}. Stop creating useless temporary text files!! #> function blah { [System.Collections.ArrayList]$global:blah = @(while (Read-Host -OutVariable l){$l}) } |
