| | Re: What is the difference between -eq and = When you write $count = 0, PowerShell provide new value assignment to variable, but not value comparing. If you want to compare, has variable appropriate value or not, you must to use comparison operators ( -eq, -ne, -le, etc). Similar behaviour is in C++ language (when you compare variable value, then you must use double assignment operator: if variable == 0 ...). -- WBR, Vadims Podans PowerShell blog - www.sysadmins.lv "Jacob Sampson" <JacobSampson@xxxxxx> rakstīja ziņojumā "news:52AA9171-4E76-4C00-8447-73671C4F81B4@xxxxxx"...
