Question : where-object does not filter out quilifying values for -notmatch

I could use some help with some syntax.

I have a powershell script that lists all the mailboxes on the server and I want to list all the mailboxes in the stores that have "accounting" in the store name but I do not want to list those in the stores that contain "unlimited" or "unlimited accounting"

This is the select-object statement and $dir is a list of keywords in the stores I want to go thru (accounting is just one). I want to filter out all the mailboxes with a store containing "unlimited" in the name. Can anybody help with the syntax?

Code Snippet:

         
             select-object MailboxDisplayName, Size, StoreName | where-object {($_.Size -gt 51200) -and ($_.StoreName -match $dir -and $_.StoreName -NotMatch "Unlimited")}

Answer : where-object does not filter out quilifying values for -notmatch

I don't think you can do a match against an array like you're trying with $dir (assuming that it is an array).
Try this, I don't have anyway to test this with Exchange though.

                       
             Select-Object MailboxDisplayName, Size, StoreName | % {
   if ($_.Size -gt 51200){
      foreach ($item in $dir){
         if ($_.StoreName -match $item -and $_.StoreName -notmatch "unlimited"){
            #Do stuff
            #with mailbox
         }
      }
   }
}
