Powershell dynamic string formatting
Post Body
Hi r/PowerShell,
I came across a little problem for which I only found an "ugly" solution.
$Count = 123
$i = 2
"[{0:d3}/{1}]" -f $i, $Count
The result of this is [002/123]. But what if I want to dynamically set this part: {0:d3} based on the amount of characters of $count?
This works:
$Count = 123
$Length = ($Count -as [String]).length
$i = 2
"[{0:d$Length}/{1}]" -f $i, $Count
But this is somewhat defies the use of -f. This obviously doesn't work:
$Count = 123
$Length = ($Count -as [String]).length
$i = 2
"[{0:d{1}}/{2}]" -f $i, $Length,$Count
Any way of doing this "nicely"?
