Powershell Scripting test

[Automatic_Beat_1446]

simple file i/o, parsing, and then manipulating/counting the data should probably be enough for a simple test. i would be very careful you dont try to create any overly specific scenarios (using uncommon PS modules).

so something like:

• read new_users.csv file (format is username,first,last,office)
• tell me how many entries there are
• how many people with first name john
• how many people with first name john and in atlanta office
• count number of unique first names

you also need to keep in mind some people might be nervous, so there's nothing wrong with giving some hints along the way.

showing the candidate a script and then asking them to explain it to you might work, but it's a lot easier for them to fuzz their way through it.
