Powershell multiple function params from ValidateSet

Question

I'm writing a script with PowerShell and at some point I needed to use ValidateSet on function params. It's a very good feature, but what I need is something more than that.

For example

Function JustAnExample
{
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)][ValidateSet("IPAddress","Timezone","Cluster")]
        [String]$Fields
    )

    write-host $Fields
}

So this code snippet allows me to choose one item from the list like that
JustAnExample -Fields IPAddress

and then prints it to the screen. I wonder if there is a possibility to allow to choose multiple values and pass them to function from one Validation set like so

JustAnExample -Fields IPAddress Cluster

Maybe there is a library for that or maybe I just missed something but I really can't find a solution for this.

Answer 1

If you want to pass multiple string arguments to the -Fields parameter, change it to an array type ([String[]]):

param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [ValidateSet("IPAddress","Timezone","Cluster")]
    [String[]]$Fields
)

And separate the arguments with , instead of space:

JustAnExample -Fields IPAddress,Cluster
