Question

I want to remove localhost from the string but the following commands are not working. Any ideas why not?

option 1:

[string[]]$Servers = '"localhost","tbhserver"'
$Servers = $servers | Where-Object {$_ -ne "localhost"}

option 2:

[string[]]$Servers = '"localhost","tbhserver"'
$Servers 
[System.Collections.ArrayList]$servers = $servers
$servers.Remove("localhost")

Answer 1

It looks to me like you’re only assigning one string, ‘”localhost”,”tbhserver”‘, to $Servers, rather than a list of two.

Does this work?

$Servers = @("localhost", "tbhserver")
$Servers = $Servers | Where-Object {$_ -ne "localhost"}

I’m not at a Windows machine right now, so I cannot test this.
