Define an array with prefixes using the range operator

Question

From this I can see I can do this with range operator:

$myArray = @(4..9)

But how can I do something like this:

$myArray = @(usr4..9)

I have tried various deviations of this with nonsense errors:

$myArray = 4..9 |
%\{ "usr$_"\}

What, exactly, would you have as an output? And what's the deal with lorem ipsum anyway? — vonPryz

I just want to add usr4, usr5, usr6 to the array. I had to write half an assay to post. no idea why. — user3019059

Would that do?

@(4..9) | % {"usr" + $_}

Precisely. But it seems this prints the users. How do i avoid this?

@user3019059 Simply assign the result to a variable or send it down the pipeline to do whatever you want to do with it.

Side note: @() is not required. 4..9 | % { "usr$_" } will suffice.
