Switch-Case with multiple Values

Question 1

I’m writing a code at the moment where I want to install network-shared printers automatically. Which printer the script should install depends on whether a user works for example in Sales or HR. I wanted to solve this problem with a switch statement, but the problem is that it always matches the first value.

I tried several combinations of continue- or break-points, but none of them lead to my desired result.

$a = "HR"

switch ($a) {
    {"Marketing", "Sales"}     { "1" }
    {"Sales Department", "HR"} { "2" }
    "EDV"                      { "3" }
}

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

$a = "HR"

switch ($a) {

{"Marketing", "Sales"} { "1" }

{"Sales Department", "HR"} { "2" }

"EDV" { "3" }

}

Output:

1
2

1

2

1

2

Normally, the console output should be “2”, but it is “1” “2”.

Question 2

Change the condition block to:

{$_ -in "Marketing", "Sales"}

1 2	{$_ -in "Marketing", "Sales"}

This way both terms will match the switch case
