How to test if string contains one of multiple strings

[PaulChavez]

You can use the Contains() method on a string.

$s = "New York City"
"New","Old" | %{ if ($s.contains($_)) { "$s contains $_" }}

How can I test if a string contains one of several possible strings.
if ($string -match "foo") { Do this; Do That }
I want to know $string contains either "foo" or "bar".
Thanks in advance.

-match uses regular expressions, so you could use:

if ($string -match "foo|bar") { Do this; Do That }
