I have made this kind of PS script. What is wrong with it? <br />
<br />
Depending of variable $type I would like to set value of variable $value. What is wrong with this and how I could correct it?<br />
<br />
$type = Read-Host &quot;Write the type&quot;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;if ($type -eq 1) {$value -eq &quot;A&quot;}<br />
