Unable to Create Object in Foreach Loop in PowerShell - powershell

Question

I am trying to create object using the foreach loop in PowerShell. Tried using "while" loop, it failed as well. Apparently, the looping methods are not allowing me to create objects...
Without further ado...
I have two scripts - Class.psm1 and Main.ps1.
On Class.psm1
Class Car {
[string]$brand
[string]$model
[string]$color
#Constructor
Car ([string]$brand) {
$this.brand = $brand
switch -wildcard ($this.brand) {
('Toyota') {$this.model = 'ABC'; $this.color = 'red'; break}
('Honda') {$this.model = 'FGH'; $this.color = 'blue'; break}
}
}
}
And on Main.ps1
Using module ".\Class.psm1"
$AllCars = {'Toyota', 'Honda'}
[array]$Objects = #()
foreach ($car in $AllCars) {
$temp = New-Object Car("$car")
$Objects += $temp
}
The output from Main.ps1, is that $Objects are just returning back "Toyota" and "Honda", instead of objects (and the properties it supposed to have).
However, if I were to just create the object individually, it will works fine.
For example:
$temp = New-Object Car('Toyota')
$Objects += $temp
$temp = New-Object Car('Honda')
$Objects += $temp
However, this is too manual work or rather unpractical.
May I know in which area did the codes went wrong...? How do I create the objects within the loop?

Answer 1

This issue is you are using {'Toyota', 'Honda'} instead of ('Toyota', 'Honda')
{'Toyota', 'Honda'} is a code block. When you pass it to New-Object Car("$car") it is actually passing New-Object Car("'Toyota', 'Honda'")
$AllCars = ('Toyota', 'Honda')
[array]$Objects = #()
foreach ($car in $AllCars) {
$temp = New-Object Car("$car")
$Objects += $temp
}
Since i was asked why the kangaroo code I decided to post a shorter response
$Objects = 'Toyota', 'Honda' | %{
New-Object Car("$car")
}
