Question on searching. both scripts below work. I have a .TXT file that contains all 30 NFL teams in alphibetical order. If I run the first script and I
search for -like '*New"' it will return
The team you are seeking: New England Patriots
The team you are seeking: New Orleans Saints
The team you are seeking: New York Giants
The team you are seeking: New York Jets
# Script 1
$nfl = Get-Content "c:\temp\nfl.txt"
foreach ($team in $nfl) { IF ($team -like '*New*') { Write-Host "The team you are seeking: " $team}}
but with script 2 below using -like and -contains don't work. I had to use -match. Why? How is using READ-HOST different than Script 1 ?
# Script 2
$Find = Read-Host "Enter part of the team name"
$nfl = Get-Content "c:\temp\nfl.txt"
foreach ($team in $nfl) { IF ($team -match $Find) { Write-Host "The team you are seeking: " $team}}
