#powershell Non US Locale Culture (Thread)

Windows PowerShellIn an environment where US English is not the language locale selected during installation of the Windows OS or as defined in Control Panel*, operations in PowerShell may behave differently or fail altogether (where dependencies on this setting may not be obvious e.g. COM object interaction with Microsoft Office Suite of products).

To avoid nasty surprises in PowerShell, consider saving both the current culture and UI culture values for the present (current) thread, set them explicitly to “en-us”, perform the needed tasks then revert back to the original system values.

The static threads we are looking for are:

[System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
[System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture

#powershell: Fun with Switch Statement Part 2

../continue

switch ($d) { { “default” } { “d” } { “others” } { “o” } }
#
$d = “Default”
$d = “others
#
d
o

Basically, the odd script blocks {namely “default” and “others”} are the actual criteria to be tested in the #powershell switch block. In this instance, there is essentially nothing to check for hence whatever criterion given to the switch block will always be deemed as valid matches regardless of values or object types.

Unless each incoming object needs to be processed and not just a “simple” match, represented by the special $_ variable, …
