Conditional array example

conditionalArray.ps1

# Example 1

$statArgs = @(
    '-c'
    if ($IsMacOS) { '%A' } else { '%a' }
    '/etc/passwd'
)

# Also note that this is an example of array splatting with a native command
/bin/stat @statArgs

# Example 2

# Naturally this is a bit contrived, since you could do gci ./baseCsvs,./extraCsvs with some extra logic
$csvsToCopy = @(
    Get-ChildItem -Path ./baseCsvs -Recurse -Pattern '*.csv'
    if (Test-Path -Path ./extraCsvs) { Get-ChildItem -Path ./extraCsvs -Recurse -Pattern '*.csv' }
)
