$PSBoundParameters for [switch] integers #19580
Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
Add possibility for integers as switch parameters.
For example I want to use switch parameters like -8, -16, -256 in script.
param (
[Parameter()] [switch] $8,
[Parameter()] [switch] $16,
[Parameter()] [switch] $256
)
switch ($PSBoundParameters.Keys)
{
'8' { 8 }
'16' { 16 }
'256' { 256 }
}
But I get the error:
./script -8
script.ps1: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '-8'.
That is, -8 is interpreted as an argument
The workaround:
param (
[Parameter()] [int] $8,
[Parameter()] [int] $16,
[Parameter()] [int] $256
)
switch ($PSBoundParameters.Values) # $PSBoundParameters.Keys works by parameter position, wrong result.
{
-8 { 8 }
-16 { 16 }
-256 { 256 }
}./script -256 -16
256
16
But it would be better if the names of switch (and not only) parameters of this kind were perceived as they are. Literally.
