The -Regex
parameter allows switch statements to perform regular expression matching against conditions.
Example:
switch -Regex ('Condition')
{
'Con\D+ion' {'One or more non-digits'}
'Conditio*$' {'Zero or more "o"'}
'C.ndition' {'Any single char.'}
'^C\w+ition$' {'Anchors and one or more word chars.'}
'Test' {'No match'}
}
Output:
One or more non-digits
Any single char.
Anchors and one or more word chars.
