PowerShell Script using array as parameter - How?

[fcx64]

Hi. How do I get an array to my PowerShell script? I tried a lot and this command line is the closest I get. It works for 1 selected item.
Multiple Items don't work.
I know that PowerShell wants an array as @() but this didn't work either.


Output of %Dlg%

Code: Select all

-noe -nol -file "F:\-Test.ps1" -Babbel ("F:\TEMP\File 001.txt","F:\TEMP\File 002.txt","F:\TEMP\File 003.txt","F:\TEMP\File 004.txt","F:\TEMP\File 005.txt")

Thank you.

I forgot the script, sorry.

Code: Select all

Param (
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $True)]
    [System.String [] ] $Babbel
)

foreach ($b in $Babbel) {
    Write-Host "$b`n"
}

Read-Host

Perhaps you have run into similar kind of limitation / bug that I have: https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=41735?

Your problem actually has nothing to do with FreeCommander. Windows has the restriction that all programs are executed as the CMD would call them.

You cannot pass an array as a single argument, otherwise it would always be interpreted as a single contiguous string. One possibility would be to split this string inside the script.
The better solution would be to use the advanced parameter "ValueFromRemainingArguments".

Code: Select all

Param (
    [Parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromRemainingArguments)]
    [System.String[]] $Babbel
)

foreach ($b in $Babbel) {
    Write-Host "$b`n"
}

See about_Functions_Advanced_Parameters

For example, if you use %ActivSel% in FreeCommander, you can select multiple files and run the script
