Question

I have the follow snippet a powershell script and the nested if statements are not being executed. Can you tell me why ? I’ve recently got back into the programming game so its probably something simple

$false. 
$IgnoreThisLine = $false
$tmpString = "(DATUM CTR OF BLADE)"
$EndOfDescription = $null 
$cncPrograms ="(165756 SIDE 1)"

if ($IgnoreThisLine = $false ) {
    If ($tmpString -match '\(') {
        $EndOfDescription =  $false
        $cncPrograms = $tmpString 
        }
    else {
    $EndOfDescription = $true               
    }
}

Answer 1

if ($IgnoreThisLine -eq $false)

“-eq” not “=” to test for equality with PowerShell.
