Powershell equivalent of Bash Brace Expansion for generating lists/arrays

Question

When writing a Bash script you can use brace expansion to quickly generate lists:

Answer 1

PS C:\> "test","dev","prod" | % { "server-$_" }
server-test
server-dev
server-prod
PS C:\> 1..5 | % { "server{0:D2}" -f $_ }
server01
server02
server03
server04
server05
PS C:\> 1..5 | % { "192.168.0.$_" }
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.2
192.168.0.3
192.168.0.4
192.168.0.5

Note that % is an alias for the ForEach-Object cmdlet.
