Using -f operator on a string that contains curly braces
Adding another set of curly braces seems to work:
$blankDefinition = @"define host{{ use windows-server ; Inherit default values from a template host_name {0} ; The name we're giving to this host alias {0} ; A longer name associated with the host address {1} ; IP address of the host }}"@$blankDefinition -f 'foo', 'bar', 'foo'
Output:
define host{ use windows-server ; Inherit default values from a template host_name foo ; The name we're giving to this host alias foo ; A longer name associated with the host address bar ; IP address of the host }
