In a previous tip you learned that text arrays can easily be multiplied. The same is true for assignment operators such as +=. When you apply this operator to a string, it appends a text:
PS> $text = "Hello" PS> $text += "World" PS> $text HelloWorld
When you apply it to a string array, it adds new lines:
PS> $text = @() PS> $text += "Hello" PS> $text += "World" PS> $text Hello World PS> $text | Out-String Hello World
So, to construct multiline text throughout your script, start with @() to create an empty array, then add all the lines to this array using +=. When you are done, pipe the array to Out-String to get one multiline string. Easy.
