Answer 1

I'm not sure I understand what you want.

The numeric values you're using as examples are represented by objects in memory known as integers. Integers are storage units whose value is stored as a binary value, not the decimal value stored as Arabic numerals.

Integer objects don't have a length that corresponds to the number of decimal digits in, say, the value 365. You can, however, get the string representation of that binary value. That string will contain the decimal value of the integer.

If what you want is a string that's one character long when the integers' value is 0 to 9, and a two character string when the integers' value is 10 to 99, and a three character string when the integers' value is from 100 to 999 then all you need to do is ask to have the integer value transformed into a string value.

Here's an example:

for ($i=1;$i -le 120; $i+=10){
    "`$i = $i :  `$i Length $($i.length)"
    $n = $i.ToString()
    "`$n = $n : `$n Length $($n.Length)"
}

Run that and you'll get an output that looks like this:

$i = 1 :  $i Length 1
$n = 1 : $n Length 1
$i = 11 :  $i Length 1
$n = 11 : $n Length 2
$i = 21 :  $i Length 1
$n = 21 : $n Length 2
$i = 31 :  $i Length 1
$n = 31 : $n Length 2
$i = 41 :  $i Length 1
$n = 41 : $n Length 2
$i = 51 :  $i Length 1
$n = 51 : $n Length 2
$i = 61 :  $i Length 1
$n = 61 : $n Length 2
$i = 71 :  $i Length 1
$n = 71 : $n Length 2
$i = 81 :  $i Length 1
$n = 81 : $n Length 2
$i = 91 :  $i Length 1
$n = 91 : $n Length 2
$i = 101 :  $i Length 1
$n = 101 : $n Length 3
$i = 111 :  $i Length 1
$n = 111 : $n Length 3

Answer 2

Use the PowerShell format ("-f") operator:

$x = get-date "1/1/2023"
$day = "{0,2:d}" -f $x.day
 1

$x = get-date "1/21/2023"
$day = "{0,2:d}" -f $x.day
21

Answer 3

Sir, tnk for your reply !

$x = get-date "1/1/2023" $day = "{0,2:d}" -f $x.day

Is this the length from the day date ?

In need the first day of the month is 1 -eq 1 length

The 10. days of month have 2 length -eq

===========================

$xtag = string

$xtag.Length

===========================

(today is the 16. of this Month; is give me "2 length"

days = (1..9) is -eq 1 space (length) "dayofyear"

days = (10..99) give me 2 spaces (length) "dayofyear"

days = (100..364) give me 3 spaces (length) "dayofyear"

============================

If

elseif

elseif

This possibilty is barbare ? non

=============================

$xvalue | pipe to $_ -length ..... ?

Is this possible?

Thank, Sir

Arnold

Answer 4

cls
((Get-Date).dayofyear) | Where-Object {($_.Length -eq (1..3))}

Pls Sir

Wath is i this way? But is not Work and i dont get any error

Thanks

Arnold

Answer 5

Hello Sir,

Many thank for your reply !

My question is

How get the -lengt from

((get-date). day). length ?

My attention now is:

cls
#((Get-Date).dayofyear) | % {($_.Length -eq 1)}
$test = ((Get-Date).dayofyear)
$xvalue1 =  (Get-Date).DayofYear
""
if ($xvalue1.ToString().Length -eq 1) {
    Write-Host """A""" = length 1 # (1..9)
    }
elseif ($xvalue1.ToString().Length -eq 2) {
    Write-Host """AB""" = length 2 # (10..99)
    }
elseif ($xvalue1.ToString().Length -eq 3) {
    Write-Host """ABC""" = length 3 # (100..999)
}
"======================================"
$xvalue2 =  ((Get-Date).dayofyear) - (([datetime]'12/31' - [datetime]'1/1'))| % days
if ($xvalue2.ToString().Length -eq 1) {
    Write-Host """A""" = length 1 # (1..9)
    }
elseif ($xvalue2.ToString().Length -eq 2) {
    Write-Host """AB""" = length 2 # (10..99)
    }
elseif ($xvalue2.ToString().Length -eq 3) {
    Write-Host """ABC""" = length 3 # (100..999)
}
elseif ($xvalue2.ToString().Length -eq 4) {
    Write-Host """ABCD""" = length 4 # (1000..1999)
}
"======================================"
[string]$xvalue3 = "20" #  =  $Xvaleur2
[string]$xvalue3.Length
if ($xvalue3 -eq 1) {
    Write-Host """A""" = length 1 # (1)
    }
elseif ($xvalu3 -eq 2) {
    Write-Host """AB""" = length 2 # (1..2)
    }
"======================================"
$xvalue4 = "8" #  =  $Xvaleur2
if ($xvalue4.ToString().Length-eq 1) {
    Write-Host """A""" = length 1 # (1)
    }
elseif ($xvalue4.ToString().Length -eq 2) {
    Write-Host """AB""" = length 2 # (1..2)
    }
"======================================"
$xvalue5 = [string][string](get-date).day
if ($xvalue5.ToString().Length-eq 1) {
    Write-Host """A""" = length 1 # (1..2)
    }
elseif ($xvalue5.ToString().Length-eq 2) {
    Write-Host """AB""" = length 2 # (1..2)
    }
"======================================"

"ABC" = length 3
======================================
"ABCD" = length 4
======================================
2
======================================
"A" = length 1
======================================
"AB" = length 2
======================================

I can développe this by switch also:

now: the 1. "ABC" has length 3 = is the #290 day of this year = length 3

Explication: 1. of the year have 1 length,

the 10 of the year have 2 length

and also 364 have 3 length

I have finde only all length possible for the Calender

Rigth , it's work only my scripte is very poor (Barbare) :(
