When you use double quotes in PowerShell, you can add variables to a string, and PowerShell automatically replaces these with their content – that’s no news:
$ID = 234 "Server $ID Rack12"
However, PowerShell automatically decides when a variable ends, so if you wanted to add a number in between a text without spaces, this would fail:
$ID = 234 "Server$IDRack12"
As the color coding suggests, PowerShell would identify the variable $IDRack12 because it cannot know that the variable was meant to end earlier.
In these scenarios, simply enclose the variable name in braces:
$ID = 234 "Server${ID}Rack12"
