1. PowerShell Basics
Vikas Sukhija

Lets start with basic elements and quickly review variables, loops, if/else statements, switches, and functions. These are the heart of any scripting language, and will assist you in creating simple to complex scripts.

I will not delve into PowerShell versions or what PowerShell is. (But here is an easy-to-understand definition without going into depth: PowerShell is a task automation solution made up of a command-line shell and a scripting language.) I also wont talk about what platforms it can be used on or get and set commands, because this is not an in-depth book for learning the language.

The intent of this book is to teach you how to create scripts without having a deep knowledge of under-the-hood elements. This is an approach Ive used successfully with many students. They gradually became well-versed with the language.

Not everyone is from a programming background and not everyone is adept at creating code. However, by following the approach described in this book, you will be able to quickly create your own scripts and automate IT systems/processes.

Variables and Printing
To begin, you need to understand the basics, which include variables and arrays. Every variable in PowerShell starts with a dollar sign ($), such as
$a = "1"
$b = "Vikas"
When you type $a and $b , values will be displayed, as shown in Figure .

Figure 1-1

Variables in PowerShell

Now you can use Write-host to print this to the screen:
Input: PS C:\> Write-host $a
Output: 1
Input: PS C:\> Write-host $b
Output: vikas
Tip

Make it a rule to use quotes when assigning values to variables, as shown above in the two examples.

Lets change the foreground color of what is being displayed by Write-host :
Input: PS C:\> Write-host $b -ForegroundColor Green
Output: vikas
