所有添加到一个字符串的新行

Question

How can I add all string to one variable with each in new line I have tried all these options but nothing seems to be working *All variable types here are string so thats not the problem

$Body = $alerts[1].description("'n") + $alerts[1].name("'n") + alerts[1].timeadded

$Body = $alerts[1].description "`n" + $alerts[1].name "`n" + $alerts[1].timeadded

$Body = $alerts[1].description `n + $alerts[1].name `n + $alerts[1].timeadded

$Body = $alerts[1].description `n  $alerts[1].name `n $alerts[1].timeadded

I want the output of $body to appear in new line each:

$alerts[1].description
$alerts[1].name
$alerts[1].timeadded

Answer 1

I believe what you're looking for is:

$Body = $alerts[1].description + "`n" + $alerts[1].name + "`n" + $alerts[1].timeadded

The character `n corresponds to a newline, which should join the strings as you described.

Answer 2

When making multiline strings where formatting is important you can always use a here string and/or the format operator .

$Body = @"
$($alerts[1].description)
$($alerts[1].name)
$($alerts[1].timeadded)
"@

Or

$Body = @"
{0}
{1}
{2}
"@ -f $alerts[1].description, $alerts[1].name, $alerts[1].timeadded

Or

$Body = "{0}`r`n{1}`r`n{2}" -f $alerts[1].description, $alerts[1].name, $alerts[1].timeadded

The features of both those approaches is more apparent when you start adding more information.

$Body = @"
The alert is described as: {0}
It has a name of {1}
This happened at {2} local time.
"@ -f $alerts[1].description, $alerts[1].name, $alerts[1].timeadded
