Question

Using the stock PS in W10 on a corporate desktop.

In bash, one can easily expand multiple sets of variables at one time to make a long list. This one, for example, generate 18 elements:

$ for s in FISP{CC,CDS,TAP}PGS{302,405}{a,b,c}; do ping -c3 $s; done
[bunch of ping output]

How does one do this in PowerShell? The best I've come up with is this, which isn't so short.

foreach ($app in "CC","CDS","TAP") 
{ 
    foreach ($client in 302,405) 
    { 
        foreach ($node in "a","b","c") 
        { 
            $s="FISP${app}PGS${client}${Node}"
            ping $s
        } 
    } 
}

Answer 1

First build the array of names, then do the Test-Connection as suggested ( in the comments)

$ip=@()
foreach ($app in "CC","CDS","TAP") 
{ 
    foreach ($client in 302,405) 
    { 
        foreach ($node in "a","b","c") 
        { 
            $ip += "FISP${app}PGS${client}${Node}"
        } 
    } 
}
$ip | %{ $i=Test-Connection $_ -Count 1 -Quiet; $_, $i -join ' '}

output (on my system):

FISPCCPGS302a False
FISPCCPGS302b False
FISPCCPGS302c False
FISPCCPGS405a False
FISPCCPGS405b False
FISPCCPGS405c False
