How to set a variable in a powershell command
I am trying to declare and set a variable in a powershell command. Is that possible?
I was hoping to do something like this:
"$name" = "I219" | Get-NetAdapter | where Name -Match "$name"
Is this possible or can this only be done in a .ps script?

Starting with PSv3 the variant without where scriptblock is possible, just the first|should be a;and the double quotes enclosing variable name for output are possible but not neccessary on assigning a variable they are illegal.

It can be done easily by just hitting enter in the console after declaring your variable:
$name = "I219" # now hit enter
To access the variable, type it in the console and hit enter again:
$name # hit enter => returns I219
Now use it with your command:
Get-NetAdapter | where { $_.Name -Match $name }
Or as a one-liner:
$name = "I219"; Get-NetAdapter | where { $_.Name -Match $name }
