You don t necessarily have to use the  string    prefix  This works in the same way   if   version         request           version     A variable that is null or empty string evaluates to false

As in many other programming and scripting languages you can do so by adding   in front of the condition  if    string   IsNullOrEmpty  version          request           version

if  -not   string   IsNullOrEmpty  version           request           version     You can also use   as an alternative to -not

I would define  Version as a string to start with    string  Version   and if it s a param you can use the code posted by Samselvaprabu or if you would rather not present your users with an error you can do something like  while  -not  version         version   Read-Host  Enter the version ya fool      request           version
