I need to alert when a decimal is entered in the %Increase: $User = Read-Host "Enter an alias" $Increase = Read-Host "Enter % Increase" $DecException = $Increase $colitems = Get-Mailbox -identity $User | Select-object IssueWarningQuota,ProhibitSendQuota,ProhibitSendReceiveQuota FOREACH ($ColItem in $Colitems) { $Warning = ([string]$ColItem.IssueWarningQuota).split("K")[0] $ProhibitSend = ([string]$ColItem.ProhibitSendQuota).split("K")[0] $ProhibitSendReceive = ([string]$ColItem.ProhibitSendReceiveQuota).split("K")[0] } #Write-Host "Prohibit Send: $ProhibitSend" #Write-Host "Prohibit Receive: $ProhibitReceive" #Write-Host "Issue Warning: $Warning"

How about this instead? $increase = read-host "Enter % Increase" while (($increase.split(".")).length -gt 1) { "Value cannot cantain a decimal point!" $increase = read-host "Enter % Increase" } $grow = 1.0 + ($increase/100) $m = get-mailbox -identity $user -resultsize 1 $setmbx = $false if ($m.issuewarningquota.isunlimited -eq $false) { $m.issuewarningquota = $m.issuewarningquota.value.tokb() * $grow $setmbx = $true } if ($m.prohibitsendquota.isunlimited -eq $false) { $m.prohibitsendquota = $m.prohibitsendquota.value.tokb() * $grow $setmbx = $true } if ($m.prohibitsendreceivequota.isunlimited -eq $false) { $m.prohibitsendreceivequota = $m.prohibitsendreceivequota.value.tokb() * $grow $setmbx = $true } if ($setmbx) { $m | set-mailbox } --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Can you help me with this: DO {[int]$Increase = Read-Host "Enter % Increase"; $p = $increase.split(".")} UNTIL ($p.length -gt 1) This is the logic that i am trying to work with, I am not understanding what you posted. I need to detect when a user puts a decimal and kick back to say only whole numbers are permitted. When i am running my script i am having a "system.double" issue. I am assuming that i am comparing a number with a string. Error: Method invocation failed because [System.Double] doesn't contain a method named 'split'. At line:1 char:19 + $b = [int]$a.split <<<< (".") + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (split:String) [], RuntimeExce ption + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound

If ".5" is entered you'll get a zero as the value. If they enter ".7" you'll get a "1" as a value. And becasue it's an integer you'll never get "split" to work since that's a function that's only available to strings. Do you WANT a decimal point in the value or not? Your prompt to the user just asks for "%". To most people that implies an integer like "50" or "75" or "90" or "150". I don't know may people that would recognize that you're asking for ".50" or ".75" or ".90" or "1.50". >This is the logic that i am trying to work with, I am not understanding what you posted. I need to detect when a user puts a decimal and kick back to say only whole numbers are permitted. That's exactly what my example does. You can replace the "split" with this if it make more sense to you: if ($increase -like "*.*" -or $increase like ".*" or -increase -like "*.") >When i am running my script i am having a "system.double" issue.

There's no "$b" variable there, nor is there a "$a" variable. If you run the code sampe you posted you'd get this exception: Method invocation failed because [System.Int32] doesn't contain a method named 'split'. $Increase is, after all, an integer not a string. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

I would assume the same. I passed it by some colleagues and they recommended that if a decimal was inputted it generates an "Error" message. More of a sanity checker. Thanks for your help.
