Question

In the following code, is there some way to reference the current object in the second segment from the third segment?

`$a = "one", "two", "three"`
`$a | % {$_ -replace "t","x" } | % { $_ }`

To explain a little differently, I’d love to be able to use something like | % { "$_.$_ : $_" } in the third pipeline segment to get this output:

one: one
two: xwo
three: xhree

Answer 1

This is the only solution I have found so far. Is there some better alternative?

$a = "one", "two", "three"
$a | % { $i = $_; $_ -replace "t","x" } | % { "$i : $_" }

output:

one : one
two : xwo
three : xhree
