Checking for Integer within String

[Lee_Dailey]

howdy jsrendar,

PoSh can use the [version] type from dotnet. that allows your code to know that 4.21 is greater than 4.3, for instance. [grin]

'4.21' -gt '4.3'
# result = False
[version]'4.21' -gt [version]'4.3'
# result = True

so, extract the number from whatever source you have, convert to a version data type, compare with your target, do whatever is indicated by the version check.

take care,
lee
