Question

I have a main script that is calling on several others scripts and I need to load the variables from the other scripts into the main script so that I can dump them into a html file. I tried dot sourcing the scripts I am calling on but that did not work or I am doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Example section of script:

.\get-cluster.ps1

$MyReport += Get-CustomHeader "Clusters not in compliance : $($CapacityInfo.count) ($MyReport += Get-HTMLTable $capacityinfo
$MyReport += Get-CustomHeaderClose

The variable $capacityinfo exists in the get-cluster.ps1 script

Answer 1

Unless your get-cluster.ps1 file is in your root dir, dot source would look more like this:

. .\Get-Cluster.ps1

This will execute the Get-Cluster.ps1 script in the same scope as the caller making its script level variables available in the caller.
