I've tried to use the function Out-Menu
for playing around with PowerShell. So far it works but now I wonder how I can create a variable based on the users selection. If I have an array $colors = 'blue', 'white', 'red'
and provided the user selects 1. blue
from the resulting list. How can I get his selection "blue" into a variable let's say $uChoice
?
$color = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter the color (blue, white, red) !"
Write-host "Color is: " $color
If ($color -eq "blue") {
$country = 'Germany'
} elseif ($color -eq "white") {
$country = 'United Kingdom'
} elseif ($color -eq "red") {
$country = 'France'
} else {
Write-host -ForegroundColor Red "Unknown color - please check your input !"
exit
}
# So now I can continue with $country
Since you are keen to learn I leave you something for you :) Lots of new concepts for you to learn here:
Remove-Variable userChoice, country -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Clear-Host
while(-not $country)
{
try
{
[validateset('blue','white','red')]
$userChoice = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter the color (blue, white, red) !"
$country = switch($userChoice)
{
blue {'Germany'}
white {'United Kingdom'}
red {'France'}
}
Write-Host -ForegroundColor $userChoice "Choice was: $country"
}
catch
{
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "Unknown color - please check your input !"
}
}
