How to Output Variables and Values in a PowerShell Script?

I would like to output variables and values in a PowerShell script by setting up flags and seeing the data matriculate throughout the script. How would I do this? For example, what would be the PowerShell equivalent to the following PHP code?

How do I achieve this using powershell echo?

Hello Punamhans,

Yes, PowerShell supports string interpolation. In PHP:

echo "filesizecounter: " . $filesizecounter;

can also be written as: echo “filesizecounter: $filesizecounter”;

In PowerShell, something like this should suit your needs: Write-Host “filesizecounter: $filesizecounter”;

PowerShell allows for string interpolation, making it easy to include variable values directly within strings.

Hey PunamHans,

The easiest way to echo in PowerShell is to create the string object and let the pipeline output it:

$filesizecounter = 8096 “filesizecounter: $filesizecounter”

Of course, you do give up some flexibility when not using the Write-* methods.
