    I have this piece of code in my script.  It is evaluating as True even though (by my understanding), it should evaluate as False.  Can someone explain what I am doing wrong, and how to fix it.  

    $port = '172.27.1.79'
    if ($port.substring(0,3) = 'IP_') { 
    write-host 'True'
    } else {
    write-host 'False'
    }

    Thanks you!

    In PowerShell the "=" is not used for testing. It is only used for assignment so you are trying to assign the value.

    Use "-eq" instead.

    help about_operators

    To test strings use "-match" as it is more direct and flexible.

    if ($port -match  '^IP_') { 

    \_(ツ)_/
