You want to do `$arrayOfString[0].Title -eq $myPbiject.item(0).Title`

`-match` is for regex matching ( the second argument is a regex )

You can do it in two different ways.

Option 1: The `-eq` operator

    &gt;$a = &quot;is&quot;
    &gt;$b = &quot;fission&quot;
    &gt;$c = &quot;is&quot;
    &gt;$a -eq $c
    True
    &gt;$a -eq $b
    False

Option 2: The `.Equals()` method of the `string` object. Because strings in PowerShell are .Net `System.String` objects, any method of that object can be called directly.

    &gt;$a.equals($b)
    False
    &gt;$a.equals($c)
    True
    &gt;$a|get-member -membertype method
List of `System.String` methods follows.

Why does the following code throw an error?

    const int a = 5;
    int b[a]={1,2,3,4,5};

And also when I tried to compile the above code without &quot;const&quot; keyword, I got the same error:

    int a = 5; 
    int b[a]={1,2,3,4,5};

why is it so?
What is the mistake that I am doing here?


And also another question:
When are constants replaced with their actual values in a code, i.e if I declare a variable say: const int x= 5;
I know that no memory is allocated in RAM for the variable x, but constant variable area in ROM holds the value 5 and that x is simply replaced by the value 5 everywhere x appears in the code. But when does this happen? Compilation time? Boot up time? Preprocessing time?

PS: I am talking about Embedded C (running on a Microcontroller etc), not C running on my desktop. So the embedded system is bound to have a ROM (Flash, EEPROM...). What would happen then? 

Can a const variable be used to declare the size of an array in C?

I&#39;m new to the IntelliJ IDE (usually work with Visual Studio) and I&#39;d like to view the current call stack at a particular breakpoint. I&#39;ve found information on building a call hierarchy but that&#39;s not what I&#39;m looking for. Any information on how to view the current call stack would be appreciated.

In PowerShell I have an array of string objects, and I have an object that contains string objects. In Java you can do a `.equals(aObject)` to test if the string values match, whereas doing a `==` test if the two objects refer to the same location in memory.

How do I run an equivalent `.equals(aObject)` in powershell?

I&#39;m doing this:

    $arrayOfStrings[0].Title -matches $myObject.item(0).Title

These both have the exact same string values, but I get a return value of false. Any suggestions?


How to compare the contents of two string objects in PowerShell

In PowerShell I have an array of string objects, and I have an object that contains string objects. In Java you can do a <code>.equals(aObject)</code> to test if the string values match, whereas doing a <code>==</code> test if the two objects refer to the same location in memory.
How do I run an equivalent <code>.equals(aObject)</code> in powershell?

I have a call to GPG in the following way in a PowerShell script: 

    $key = &amp; &#39;gpg&#39; --decrypt &quot;secret.gpg&quot; --quiet --no-verbose &gt; $null

I don&#39;t want any output from GPG to be seen on the main console when I&#39;m running the script. 

Due to my noobness in PowerShell, I don&#39;t know how to do this. I searched 
Stack&amp;nbsp;Overflow and googled for a way to do it, found a lot of ways to do it, but non of it worked.

The &quot;&gt; $null&quot; for example has no effect. I found the `--quiet --no-verbose` options for GPG to put less output in the console, still it&#39;s not completely quiet, and I&#39;m sure there is a way in PowerShell too.


Suppress console output in PowerShell

How can I change the following code to look at all the .log files in the directory and not just the one file?

I need to loop through all the files and delete all lines that do not contain &quot;step4&quot; or &quot;step9&quot;. Currently this will create a new file, but I&#39;m not sure how to use the `for each` loop here (newbie).

The actual files are named like this: **2013 09 03 00_01_29.log**. I&#39;d like the output files to either overwrite them, or to have the SAME name, appended with &quot;out&quot;.

    $In = &quot;C:\Users\gerhardl\Documents\My Received Files\Test_In.log&quot;
    $Out = &quot;C:\Users\gerhardl\Documents\My Received Files\Test_Out.log&quot;
    $Files = &quot;C:\Users\gerhardl\Documents\My Received Files\&quot;

    Get-Content $In | Where-Object {$_ -match &#39;step4&#39; -or $_ -match &#39;step9&#39;} | `
    Set-Content $Out


Loop through files in a directory using PowerShell

Consider the following snippet:

    &quot;12-18&quot; -Contains &quot;-&quot;

You’d think this evaluates to `true`, but it doesn&#39;t. This will evaluate to `false` instead. I’m not sure why this happens, but it does.

To avoid this, you can use this instead:

    &quot;12-18&quot;.Contains(&quot;-&quot;)

Now the expression will evaluate to true.

Why does the first code snippet behave like that? Is there something special about `-` that doesn&#39;t play nicely with `-Contains`? [The documentation][1] doesn&#39;t mention anything about it.

PowerShell and the -contains operator

I&#39;m writing a powershell script that needs to make a web request and inspect the status code of the response.

I have tried writing this:

    $client = new-object system.net.webclient
    
    $response = $client.DownloadData($url)

as well as this:

    $response = Invoke-WebRequest $url

but whenever the web page has a status code that&#39;s not a success status code, PowerShell goes ahead and throws an exception instead of giving me the actual response object.

How can I get the status code of the page even when it fails to load?

I&#39;m running a PowerShell script against many servers, and it is logging output to a text file.

I&#39;d like to capture the server the script is currently running on. So far I have:

    $file = &quot;\\server\share\file.txt&quot;
    $computername = $env:computername

    $computername | Add-Content -Path $file

This last line adds question marks in the output file. Oops.

How do I output a variable to a text file in PowerShell?


Output (&quot;echo&quot;) a variable to a text file

I fall into a surprising issue. 

I loaded a text file in my application and I have some logic which compares the value having &#181;.

And I realized that even if the texts are same the compare value is false.

     Console.WriteLine(&quot;μ&quot;.Equals(&quot;&#181;&quot;)); // returns false
     Console.WriteLine(&quot;&#181;&quot;.Equals(&quot;&#181;&quot;)); // return true

In later line the character  &#181; is copy pasted.

Any idea will be helpful.

How do I compare two strings in python if order does not matter?

I am learning `fuzzywuzzy` in Python.

I understand the concept of `fuzz.ratio`, `fuzz.partial_ratio`, `fuzz.token_sort_ratio` and `fuzz.token_set_ratio`. My question is when to use which function?

 - Do I check the 2 strings&#39; length first, say if not similar, then rule
   out `fuzz.partial_ratio`?
 - If the 2 strings&#39; length are similar, I&#39;ll use
   `fuzz.token_sort_ratio`?   
 - Should I always use `fuzz.token_set_ratio`?

Anyone knows what criteria SeatGeek uses?

I am trying to build a real estate website, thinking to use `fuzzywuzzy` to compare addresses.
