I want to be able to pass a single int through to a powershell script, and be able to tell when no variable is passed. My understanding was that the following should identify whether an argument is null or not:
if (!$args[0]) { Write-Host "Null" }
else { Write-Host "Not null" }
This works fine until I try to pass 0 as an int. If I use 0 as an argument, Powershell treats it as null. Whats the correct way to be able to distinguish between the argument being empty or having a zero value?
You can just test $args
variable or $args.count
to see how many vars are passed to the script.
Another thing : $args[0] -eq $null
is different from $args[0] -eq 0
and from !$args[0]
.
