Import Variables from Text File in Powershell
powershell
Solution
This can be accomplished by Dot Sourcing.
Create a .ps1 file, declare your variables in it, then dot source the file. This will bring any variables declared in the file into the global scope.
Example:
Contents of Variables.ps1:
$foo = "blarg"
$bar = "other blarg"
Dot source it:
. ./Variables.ps1
Write-Host "$foo $bar"
Problem
I've got a couple of Powershell scripts that automate DLL transferal and I'd like to import the variables from one text file into the various scripts. My example: ``` Variables.txt $foo = "blarg" $bar = "other blarg" ``` And then I'd like to do something like this: ``` Script.ps1 Imports Variables.txt echo "$foo $bar" ```
