Significance: we often run into situations where a list of items (such as usernames, computernames, etc.) that are needed to be actioned within a PowerShell script. Instead of manually creating double quotes around each string, we could quickly paste them into a text file or a text variable signified with the @ symbol as demonstrated below
Example 1:
# Paste a list of names here
# Important: there could spaces on each line
$usersList = @'
username1
username2
username3
'@
$userNames = @($usersList -split "`n")|%{$_.Trim()}
Example 2:
# Paste a list of names here
# Important: there must be no spaces nor extra characters between each name
$computersList = @'
computername1
computername2
computername3
'@
$computerNames = @($computersList -split "`n" -replace "\..*$")
