Question

I’ve got the following code:

function printVars($var1, $var2)
{
  Write-Host "var1: $var1"
  Write-Host "var2: $var2"
}

printVars ('asdf', 'qwer')

It produces this result:

var1: asdf qwer
var2:

I am expecting this:

var1: asdf
var2: qwer

Why is it doing that and how do I get it to do what I want?

Answer 1

Because ('asdf','qwer') gets treated as an array, so $var1 gets the array and $var2 is empty.

Do printVars 'asdf' 'qwer'

Even if you don’t have the parantheses and have just the comma, it is an array.

Try this:

$b ="one","two"
$b.GetType()
