    Hey Guys & Gals

    Do you know how I can compare two strings with two decimal points in it?

    For example. How can I compare $A and $B where $A = 1.1.1 and $B = 10.0.0 

    Obviously $B is greater than $A but how will the comparison work? The usual comparison doesn't seem to work here because of two decimal points

    In this case you can use the "version" comparison 
    [Version]'1.1.1' -eq [Version]'10.0.0'
[Version]'1.1.1' -gt [Version]'10.0.0'
[Version]'1.1.1' -lt [Version]'10.0.0'

    Grüße - Best regards
