Why does Powershell -match any string with $null -


found while debugging powershell script. 

ps c:\temp> "hello" -match $null   true

but

> "hello" -eq $null returns false

why, when using -match, string match $null?

i believe because $null gets coerced empty string -match expects string pattern on rhs (right hand side). , empty string match anything.
