In Powershell how can I convert a string with a trailing 'sign' to a number?
EDIT: as per Halr9000's suggestion
$foo = "300-";$bar = 0;$numberStyles = [System.Globalization.NumberStyles];$cultureInfo = [System.Globalization.CultureInfo];[int]::TryParse($foo, $numberStyles::AllowTrailingSign, $cultureInfo::CurrentCulture, [ref]$bar);
[System.Globalization.NumberStyles]::AllowTrailingSignI should also point out, that when I'm dealing with enums in general, sometimes I can get by typing a string. E.g. in this case, just put
"AllowTrailingSign"Final note, when quizzing an Enum for all possible values, use the line:
[System.Globalization.NumberStyles] | gm -static
Here's a better way to get the enum values:
$type = [System.Globalization.NumberStyles][enum]::GetValues($type)
