SYNOPSIS

Asserts that the actual value is not equal to the expected value.

SYNTAX

Should-NotBeString [[-Actual] <Object>] [[-Expected] <String>] [-Because <String>] [-CaseSensitive]
 [-IgnoreWhitespace] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

The Should-NotBeString assertion compares the actual value to the expected value using the -ne operator. The -ne operator is case-insensitive by default, but you can make it case-sensitive by using the -CaseSensitive switch.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

```powershell
"hello" | Should-NotBeString "HELLO"
```powershell
This assertion will pass, because the actual value is not equal to the expected value.

EXAMPLE 2

```powershell
"hello" | Should-NotBeString "hello" -CaseSensitive
```powershell
This assertion will fail, because the actual value is equal to the expected value.
