say I have a list of 100 servers.

if I’m doing something small (say a test-path)

```
$servers=(get-content servers.txt)
foreach ($s in $servers){
write-host $s
test-path \$s\whatever
}
```

Then I just let it run.

How would I tell powershell to grab X servers do the loop, and then grab the next x until completed.

I feel like the answer should be simple, but I’m just not seeing it.
