A judicious use of xargs, curl and grep would have done it in 1 line in Linux. I looked at your PowerShell code; that does look a bit complicated compared to what Linux offers.

I'm sure you are right. I was just trying to convey the positive impression I got from what little time I spent with PowerShell and the great documentation it has.

Especially the fact that I was able to accomplish what I set out to do in a very reasonable amount of time.

You can do it in one line in PS too.

    $sites = @('https://www.google.com/', 'https://www.example.com/')
    $searchString = 'oogle'
    $sites | %{ if ((iwr $_).Content -like "*$searchString*") { "$_;OK" } else { "$_;NOT OK" } } > C:\temp\output.csv
