Hello,
I'm not sure whether I am missing a trick here but I seem to be having difficulties passing a number to a variable using 'read-host' and then adding another number to that variable, rather than add the numbers up powershell concatenates them.
For example:
$num = read-host "Enter a number: " (I enter 5)
$num1 = read-host "Enter another number: " ( I enter 7)
$sum = $num + $num1
write-host $sum
The out put I get from this simple example is 57 rather than 12
Any help would be appreciated, although I’m sure this is really easy and will kick myself when I find the answer out!
Thanks
