This question already has an answer here:




  • How do I write a PowerShell script that accepts pipeline input?

    4 answers




I've seen in the past before I started scripting that a powershell script that requires a hostname parameter. it could either by typed in like Script.PS1 "hostname"
but you could also run the script in the following method:



gc hostnames.txt | script.ps1


and in this way you could list a number of hostnames in your text file.



how is this achieved.
my parameters looks as follows



Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[ValidateSet("C","K")]
[ValidateNotNullorEmpty()]
[String]$Action,

[Parameter(Mandatory = $True)]
[ValidateNotNullorEmpty()]
[String]$Computers

)

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.



















  • The question asked is not about getting parameters from the pipeline although the syntax submitted implies that. The suggested duplicate doesn't address this.

As asked you could use syntax something like



gc hostnames.txt | % {  .script.ps1 -Action A -Computers $_ }


and it would call script.ps1 once for each line in hostnames.txt.



The $_ is a placeholder for the current value of the array being iterated by the ... | % ... syntax.

  • Correct answer. I'd like to add that I personally prefer to make scripts readable by not using 'gc' but Get-Content and not using '%' but ForEach-Object or ForEach. This makes it a lot easier to understand and especially for the ones without a lot of experience.
