I have a simple section in a PowerShell script that goes through each array in a list and grabs the data (found at [3] of the current array), using it to determine if another part of the array (found at [0]) should be added to the end of a string.
$String = "There is"
$Objects | Foreach-Object{
if ($_[3] -match "YES")
{$String += ", a " + $_[0]}
}
This works fine and dandy, resulting in a $String
of something like
"There is, a car, a airplane, a truck"
But unfortunately this doesn't really make sense grammatically for what I want. I'm aware that I could either fix the string after it's been created, or include lines in the foreach/if statement that determine which characters to add. This would need to be:
$String += " a " + $_[0]
- for the first match.
$String += ", a " + $_[0]
- for following matches.
$String += " and a " + $_[0] + " here."
- for the last match.
Furthermore I need to determine whether to use " a " if $_[0]
starts with a consonant, or " an " if $_[0]
starts with a vowel. All in all, I'd like the output to be
"There is a car, an airplane and a truck here."
Thanks!
