I have this in my code

[CmdletBinding()]
Param(
   [string[]]$NameArray = @(),
)
NameArray += "data"
Write-Host "Name is : $NameArray[0]"

The above appends [0] to the output. so I get

Name is data[0]

Any suggestion on how I can tell it that the [0] is the index and not text to be appended ?

`"Name is : ($NameArray[0])"` or `'Name is : {0}' -f $NameArray[0]` – Mathias R. Jessen Oct 14 '19 at 18:37
The first one fails – MistyD Oct 14 '19 at 18:38

"Name is : $($NameArray[0])" <- $ is missing – Patrick Oct 14 '19 at 18:39
@Patrick that worked can you put that as the answer – MistyD Oct 14 '19 at 18:41
