Capture output of a batch file in powershell script
powershell, powershell-1.0
Solution
This should do it:
$Body = & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin\facter.bat"
Problem
I need to capture the output created by a .bat file that is run from within a .ps1 file. I'm new to powershell scripting but I know this isn't correct syntax. This best illustrates what I need to have happen. I need to execute the facter.bat script then store its output in `$Body` so I can use that text later. ``` "C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin\facter.bat" > $Body ```
