I am creating many variables that end with an incrementing number,
$var0 = "foo" $var1 = "bar" $var2 = "ack" $var3 = "influenza" # ran out of fillers I want to check each of these variables for the one containing "ack". My thinking is to use a for, increment $i, and use $i at the end of each variable name.
for($i=0;$i -le 3;$i++) { if((Get-Variable -Name "var$i" -ValueOnly) -eq "ack") { "result at var$i" } else { $i } } Is there a more elegant way than Get-Variable to use $i as part of a variable name? Or is the point to use an array in this scenario?

The solution was to use an array instead of using multiple variables.
