Question

I’m using a function which creates some variables I’d like to use after the function has processed.
I’ve tried accessing them directly but I can’t. How would I go about doing this?

Answer 1

Variables inside functions don’t survive after the function has been run. If you want to access them after the function has processed, prefix them with a scope modifier.

PS> function test-var{ $script:var='foo' }
PS> test-var # excute the function
PS> $var #print var
foo

Type this in your console for more information:
