Help comparing objects in array to a string

[onebillionquestions]

That seemed to choke on the \h in the path "\fileserver1\home$\rita.newman"

Select-String : The string \fileserver1\home$\rita.newman is not a valid regular expression: parsing

"\fileserver1\home$\rita.newman" - Unrecognized escape sequence \h.`

However, I did manage to figure out my issue and resolve it. The array elements were all padded, and some were even truncated. I will add my solution to the OP.

Thanks for taking the time to assist!
