powershell - Get-Job by State and Name? -

powershell v3.

start-job -name "testjob" -scriptblock { write-host "foo" } 

the job starts fine. type

get-job 

and see

id   name      psjobtypename   state      hasmoredata   location      command --   ----      -------------   -----      -----------   --------      ------- 18   testjob   backgroundjob   completed  true          localhost     write-host "foo" 

everything going according plan far. let's have many jobs running in session, , have various different names. want find jobs named testjob:

get-job -name testjob 

this works expected, returning jobs of name. let's want find jobs both have name testjob and still running:

ps c:\> get-job -name testjob -state running get-job : parameter set cannot resolved using specified named parameters. @ line:1 char:1 + get-job -name testjob -state running + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     + categoryinfo          : invalidargument: (:) [get-job], parameterbindingexception     + fullyqualifiederrorid : ambiguousparameterset,microsoft.powershell.commands.getjobcommand 

is there way this?

try following

get-job -state completed | where-object {$_.name.contains("testjob")} 

here's sample run based on example

ps d:\>  get-job -state completed | where-object {$_.name.contains("job")}  id              name            state      hasmoredata     location             command --              ----            -----      -----------     --------             ------- 1               testjob         completed  true            localhost             write-host "foo" 3               testjob         completed  true            localhost             write-host "foo" 

see get-help where-object more info on this.
