WhereEx [-InputObject <Object>] [-PredicateString] <Object>

Allows for avoiding multiple mentions of the property name when using Where-Object with multiple conditions on the same property. Parentheses indicate that the preceding variable should be considered as the (left-hand) parameter for the operator. (see Example)

1..10 | WhereEx {$_ (-gt 5 -and -lt 8)}

Get-Process | WhereEx {$_.Name (-like 'power*' -and -notlike '*ise')}

The object or collection to filter.

Type: Object
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: 

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False

The predicate as a String that determines the filter logic. Parentheses indicate that the preceding variable should be considered as the (left-hand) parameter for the operator.

  (See Example)

Type: Object
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: 

Required: True
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
