Foreach loop not running through list of entries - powershell

Question

I've tried searching this multiple times but havent resolved the issue. I have a list of servers in $mediaagentlist, the foreach loop is supposed to run through each one and get the state of certain services:
$mediaagentlist = "cs0400ma01
cs0400ma02"
[string]$Commcell_Input = $args[0]
$MAChoice = $args[1]
if ($MAChoice -eq $null)
{
Write-Output "No media agent was specified, running against all MAs in the Commcell..."
#Run this loop for each MA which is stored in Mediaagentlist
foreach ($Mediaagent in $Mediaagentlist)
{
Write-Output $Mediaagent
$GxCLMgrS_State = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Mediaagent {Get-Service -name "GxClMgrS(Instance001)"}
$GXMMM_State = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Mediaagent {Get-Service -name "GXMMM(Instance001)"}
$GxCVD_State = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Mediaagent {Get-Service -name "GxCVD(Instance001)"}
Write-Output "Client manager service state: " $GxCLMgrS_State.Status
Write-Output "Media manager mount service state: " $GXMMM_State.Status
Write-Output "Communications service state: " $GxCVD_State.Status
}
}
How do I correct this so the for each loop runs through the list of entries in $mediaagentlist and runs the code for each server?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It looks like your issue is here
$mediaagentlist = "cs0400ma01
cs0400ma02"
It looks like your missing a closing qoute per word and a comma
try
$mediaagentlist = "cs0400ma01", "cs0400ma02"
or
$mediaagentlist = #("cs0400ma01", "cs0400ma02")
Or you can define a multi-line string, then split on new lines, if there's a reason you needed the input to be a single multi-line string:
$mediaagentlist = "cs0400ma01
cs0400ma02" -split '[\r\n]+'
