PowerShell -ne Operator
In PowerShell, the `-ne` operator is used for comparison and stands for "not equal." It is used to compare two values and return `True` if they are not equal, and `False` if they are equal. The `-ne` operator is case-insensitive, meaning it does not consider the case of the values being compared.
The syntax for -ne operator is:
$value1 -ne $value2
`$value1` and `$value2` are the two values you want to compare.
Here are a few examples to illustrate how the `-ne` operator works:
Example 1
5 -ne 10
In this example, `5` is not equal to `10`, so the result is `True`.
Example 2
"Hello" -ne "hello"
In this example, the strings "Hello" and "hello" are not equal because the `-ne` operator is case-insensitive. Therefore, the result is `False`.
Example 3
$name1 = "John"
$name2 = "Jane"
$name1 -ne $name2
Here, the values stored in the variables `$name1` and `$name2` are not equal, so the result is `True`.
You can also use the `-ne` operator in conditional statements, loops, and other parts of your PowerShell scripts to make decisions based on whether two values are not equal.
