function Compare-PSFArray { <# .SYNOPSIS Compares two arrays. .DESCRIPTION Compares two arrays. .PARAMETER ReferenceObject The first array to compare with the second array. .PARAMETER DifferenceObject The second array to compare with the first array. .PARAMETER OrderSpecific Makes the comparison order specific. By default, the command does not care for the order the objects are stored in. .PARAMETER Quiet Rather than returning a delta report object, return a single truth statement: - $true if the two arrays are equal - $false if the two arrays are NOT equal. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Compare-PSFArray -ReferenceObject $arraySource -DifferenceObject $arrayDestination -Quiet -OrderSpecific Compares the two sets of objects, and returns ... - $true if both sets contains the same objects in the same order - $false if they do not #> [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute("PSUseOutputTypeCorrectly", "")] [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 0)] [object[]] $ReferenceObject, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 1)] [object[]] $DifferenceObject, [switch] $OrderSpecific, [switch] $Quiet ) process { #region Not Order Specific if (-not $OrderSpecific) { $delta = Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $ReferenceObject -DifferenceObject $DifferenceObject if ($delta) { if ($Quiet) { return $false } [PSCustomObject]@{ ReferenceObject = $ReferenceObject DifferenceObject = $DifferenceObject Delta = $delta IsEqual = $false } return } else { if ($Quiet) { return $true } [PSCustomObject]@{ ReferenceObject = $ReferenceObject DifferenceObject = $DifferenceObject Delta = $delta IsEqual = $true } return } } #endregion Not Order Specific #region Order Specific else { if ($Quiet -and ($ReferenceObject.Count -ne $DifferenceObject.Count)) { return $false } $result = [PSCustomObject]@{ ReferenceObject = $ReferenceObject DifferenceObject = $DifferenceObject Delta = @() IsEqual = $true } $maxCount = [math]::Max($ReferenceObject.Count, $DifferenceObject.Count) [System.Collections.ArrayList]$indexes = @() foreach ($number in (0 ..
