Running multiple commands in a if statement

Question

I'm looking to modify the below powershell script to do two things on an if statement:

if ($PsCmdlet.ParameterSetName -ieq "DumpCreds")
{
    $ExeArgs = "privilege::debug"

}
elseif ($PsCmdlet.ParameterSetName -ieq "DumpCerts")
{
    $ExeArgs = "crypto::cng crypto::capi `"crypto::certificates /export`" `"crypto::certificates /export /systemstore:CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_LOCAL_MACHINE`" exit"
}
else
{
    $ExeArgs = $Command
}`

The line where it reads - $exeargs = "privilege::debug", I need run that and I also need to run - $ExeArgs = "sekurlsa::logonpasswords" The privilege one needs to run first followed by the logonpasswords one.

How do I run 2 commands in 1 if statement in a powershell script?

You want to assign a value to $ExeArgs twice in one if block? What would that achieve? — Jason Boyd

Yes, well the priv argument is a requirement that needs to be set before I can run the logonpasswords one. Is there a way to do it? — DominicD74

$ExeArgs = ' "privilege::debug" "sekurlsa::logonpasswords" '? — JosefZ

A if statement has no restriction about how much commands you execute in it, so just execute it...

if ($PsCmdlet.ParameterSetName -ieq "DumpCreds")
{
    $ExeArgs = "privilege::debug"
    $ExeArgs = "sekurlsa::logonpasswords"    
}
elseif ($PsCmdlet.ParameterSetName -ieq "DumpCerts")
{
    $ExeArgs = "crypto::cng crypto::capi `"crypto::certificates /export`" `"crypto::certificates /export /systemstore:CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_LOCAL_MACHINE`" exit"
}
else
{
    $ExeArgs = $Command
}
