Passing multiple values to a single PowerShell script parameter
The easiest way is probably to use two parameters: One for hosts (can be an array), and one for vlan.
param([String[]] $Hosts, [String] $VLAN)Instead of
foreach ($i in $args)you can use
foreach ($hostName in $Hosts)If there is only one host, the foreach loop will iterate only once. To pass multiple hosts to the script, pass it as an array:
myScript.ps1 -Hosts host1,host2,host3 -VLAN 2...or something similar.
Parameters take input before arguments. What you should do instead is add a parameter that accepts an array, and make it the first position parameter. ex:
param( [Parameter(Position = 0)] [string[]]$Hosts, [string]$VLAN )foreach ($i in $Hosts) { Do-Stuff $i}Then call it like:
.\script.ps1 host1, host2, host3 -VLAN 2Notice the comma between the values. This collects them in an array
One way to do it would be like this:
param( [Parameter(Position=0)][String]$Vlan, [Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)][String[]]$Hosts ) ...This would allow multiple hosts to be entered with spaces.
