Use -notlike to filter out multiple strings in PowerShell
powershell
Solution
V2 at least contains the `-username` parameter that takes a string[], and supports globbing.
V1 you want to expand your test like so:
Get-EventLog Security | ?{$_.UserName -notlike "user1" -and $_.UserName -notlike "*user2"}
Or you could use "-notcontains" on the inline array but this would only work if you can do exact matching on the usernames.
`... | ?{@("user1","user2") -notcontains $_.username}`
Problem
I'm trying to read the event log for a security audit for all users except two, but is it possible to do that with the `-notlike` operator? It's something like that: ``` Get-EventLog -LogName Security | where {$_.UserName -notlike @("*user1","*user2")} ``` I have it working for a single user, like: ``` Get-EventLog -LogName Security | where {$_.UserName -notlike "*user1"} ```
