Powershell Switch statement with multiple values

Question

Anyone know how I can have a switch statement with multiple possible values like the example below?

switch ($myNumber) {
   1 3 5 7 9 { write-host "Odd" }
   2 4 6 8 10 {write-host "Even" }
}

Used to be easy in VBScript, so I'm sure i'm just missing something simple.

e.g in VBScript

Select Case myNumber 
   Case 1,3,5,7,9
      MsgBox "Odd"
   Case 2,4,6,8,10
      MsgBox "Even"
End Select

Cheers in advance,

Ben

Answer 1

$myNumber = 3
$arrA = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
$arrB = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
switch ($myNumber) { 
    {$arrA -contains $_} { write-host "Odd" } 
    {$arrB -contains $_} { write-host "Even" }
}

In your case you can simply use

switch ($myNumber) {
  { $_ % 2 -eq 1 } { "Odd" }
  { $_ % 2 -eq 0 } { "Even" }
}

An actual attempt to model what you can do there in VB would probably be something like

switch ($myNumber) {
  { 1,3,5,7,9  -contains $_ } { "Odd" }
  { 2,4,6,8,10 -contains $_ } { "Even" }
}
