Which operator in PowerShell uses simple wildcard patterns for string comparison?
A-contains
B-like
C-match
D-eq
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand the purpose of -like

    The -match operator uses regular expressions, which are more complex than simple wildcards.

  3. Final Answer:

    -like -> Option B

    Simple wildcard matching = -like [OK]
Quick Trick: Remember: -like = wildcards, -match = regex [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing -like with -match
  • Thinking -contains works like -like
  • Assuming -eq supports wildcards
