Powershell - List value of boxes checked - powershell

Question

I have a Powershell scripts that creates 12 unique check boxes. Later in the script, it creates an email and enter information. I am trying to get the email to include the value of the boxes that are checked, and not the others. The variable name for each box is $CB1 up through $CB12.
Team,
Per ticket $SCTicket, $User is requesting access to GetPaid.
Details from RITM ticket $RITMTicket are below:
Access Type: $AccessType
Roll: $Roll
Responsibilities:
Thank You
Doing something such as $CB1,$CB2,$CB3, ect. does not look right, as it leaves a bunch of random commas. Putting each checkbox value on it's own line can work, but then there are potentially several blank lines for no reason.
If the user checks off, say, boxes 4, 7, and 10, how can I get just those values written??
Full code is below:
if ($startupvariables) { try {Remove-Variable -Name startupvariables -Scope Global -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue } catch { } }
New-Variable -force -name startupVariables -value ( Get-Variable | ForEach-Object { $_.Name } )

Answer 1

Here's a procedural way to retrieve the matching values.
First, we retrieve all variables with $Checkbox in the name, then grab only ones with a CheckState value. Then, for each, we substring out the number and append that to the string CB to retrieve the value of the corresponding $CB# variable.
Then we store that in an array list and join with a comma at the end, for the output you see below.
$properties = New-object System.Collections.ArrayList
$CheckedBoxes = Get-Variable checkbox* | Where-object {$_.Value.CheckState -eq 'Checked'}
ForEach ($Checked in $CheckedBoxes){
$CBNumber = $CheckBox.Name.Split('Checkbox')[-1]
$Properties.Add((Get-variable "CB$CBNumber").Value) | out-null
}
$Properties -join ','
>GL Accountant, Pricing, Credit Management
All of this code should be used where you have this code today:
if ($Checkbox1.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities = $CB1}
#Insert new code here <---------------
elseif ($Checkbox2.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities = $CB2}
elseif ($Checkbox2.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities = $CB3}

Answer 2

Just from a preliminary look through the code and the question that you are asking, this is what I have come up with.
Basically, if the checkbox is checked, it appends the $CB(1-12) string to the $global:AccessResponsibilities and then in your email just reference $global:AccessResponsibilities and it should have all the strings of the checkboxes that were checked
if ($Checkbox1.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities += $CB1 + "`r`n"}
if ($Checkbox2.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities += $CB2 + "`r`n"}
if ($Checkbox3.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities += $CB3 + "`r`n"}
if ($Checkbox4.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities += $CB4 + "`r`n"}
if ($Checkbox5.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities += $CB5 + "`r`n"}
if ($Checkbox6.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities += $CB6 + "`r`n"}
if ($Checkbox7.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities += $CB7 + "`r`n"}
if ($Checkbox8.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities += $CB8 + "`r`n"}
if ($Checkbox9.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities += $CB9 + "`r`n"}
if ($Checkbox10.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities += $CB10 + "`r`n"}
if ($Checkbox11.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities += $CB11 + "`r`n"}
if ($Checkbox12.Checked){$global:AccessResponsibilities += $CB12 + "`r`n"}

Answer 3

heres a small loop that should work for HeedfulCrayon's answer.
foreach ($i in 1..12)
{
if ((Get-Variable -Name Checkbox$i).Value.Checked)
{
$Global:AccessResponsibilities += ((Get-Variable -Name CB$i).Value + "`r`n")
}
}
