Question

How can I put $org into an array together with $count?

Like this example array:

$myArray = @{
  1="SampleOrg";
  2="AnotherSampleOrg"
}

Another example:

$myArray = @{
  $count="$org";
  $count="$org"
}

Example foreach:

$count=0;get-organization | foreach {$count++; $org = $_.Name.ToString();write-host $count  -nonewline;write-host " $org"}
$answer = read-host "Select 1-$count"

The above will display:

1 SampleOrg
2 AnotherSampleOrg

Select 1-2:

What I would like to do afterwards is to put the array to use in a switch.

Example:

switch ($answer)
   {
     1 {$org=myArray[1]} #<-- or whatever that corresponds to "SampleOrg"
     2 {$org=myArray[2]} #<-- or whatever that corresponds to "AnotherSampleOrg"
   }

Answer 1

You have to initialize your hashtable somewhere before the loop:

$myArray = @{} 

and add a

$myArray.Add($count, $org)

to your foreach-loop.

EDIT: For the discussion about hastable/array see the whole thread 😉 I just kept the name of the variable from the original posting
