1. For example, suppose you have two strings, “Hello” and “World”. To determine if the two strings are not equal, run the below command. "Hello"-ne"World" The result is True since “Hello” is not equal to “World”. Comparing unequal stings 2. Now compare the strings “Hello”...

Use comparison operators (-eq,-ne,-gt,-lt,-le,-ge) to compare values and test conditions. For example, you can compare two string values to determine whether they're equal. The comparison operators also include operators that find or replace patterns in text. The (-match,-notmatch,-repla...
$d = $a.CompareTo($b) As you can see, we’re simply taking $a and calling theCompareTomethod, passing the second string ($b) as the sole method parameter. If CompareTo returns a 0, that means the two strings are equal; anything other than a 0 means that the two strings are dif...
If you work with database types, you may get back a[dbnull]::Valuewhich is equivalent to$nullwithin the database, but in PowerShell, this was not equal to$nullso you can’t compare it directly. This change fromJoel Sallowallows you to compare both[dbnull]::Valueand[nullstring]::Valu...
