Why can't i call Contains method from my array?
- by xbnevan
Arrrg!I am running into what i feel is a dumb issue with a simple script i'm writing in powershell. I am invoking a sql command that is calling a stored proc, with the results i put it a array. The results look something like this:
Status ProcessStartTime ProcessEndTime
------ ---------------- --------------
Expired May 22 2010 8:31PM May 22 2010 8:32PM
What i'm trying to do is if($s.Contains("Expired")) , report failed. Simple...? :( Problem i'm running into is it looks like Contains method is not being loaded as i get an error like this:
Method invocation failed because [System.Object[]] doesn't contain a method named 'Contains'. At line:1 char:12
+ $s.Contains <<<< ("Expired")
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (Contains:String) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound
So, what can i do to stop powershell from unrolling it to string? Actual ps script below -
$s = @(Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query "USE DB
GO
exec Monitor_TEST_ps 'EXPORT_RUN',NULL,20 " `
-ServerInstance "testdb002\testdb_002")
if ($s.Contains("Expired"))
{
Write-Host "Expired found, FAIL."
}
else {
Write-Host "Not found, OK."
}
