How do I put a boolean result into a variable in Powershell? -

if i've got variable $count number in it, there one-liner set variable either true or false depending on whether $count = 1?

i thought that

$result = ($count -eq 1) 

would it, end value of "1" or null stored in (depending on whether it's 1 or not).

any idea i'm doing wrong?

edit: mistake - didn't have "1" in variable. had arraylist looked number 1. closing this.

full code:

get-acl c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc | select -expand access | {$_.identityreference -eq "someacl"} | measure | select -expand count -outvariable aclcount $aclfound = ($aclcount –eq 1) $todaydate = get-date -format "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" add-content f:\myfile.log "$todaydate $aclfound " 

fixed putting [0] after $aclcount on line 2. (obviously acl in there 1 checking for)

you can use if/then/else it.

if($count -eq 1){$result = $true}else{$result = $false}
