Powershell 中变量定义文件路径内的 Out-File 文本输入

Question

I have a powershell GUI script that is taking simple inputs from the user. the inputs are stored as following:

trackingnumber = "enter tracking number: " + $txtTrack.Text

I also have a dynamic folder that I would like to write to created that is named based off of the user input

folderOut = "\\\C:\Users\name\Desktop\" + $($txtTrack.Text)

I am trying to write the user input in a simple text file inside of that dynamic folder (folderOut)

I tried using: $txtTrack.Text | out-file -FilePath ($folderOut + ($txtTrack.Text) + ".txt") $txtTrack.Text | out-file -FilePath ($folderOut + ($txtTrack.Text) + ".txt")

However, it never saves inside of the $folderOut custom folder path it just saves on the desktop. How can I save the user's input in a text file inside of the dynamic folder path ($folderOut)

Answer 1

I can't see where trackingnumber is used in your commands listed, but if the GUI text box is $txtTrack and you are using that as the tracking number input then the below should work.

$folderOut = "C:\Users\name\Desktop\" + $($txtTrack.Text)
$txtTrack.Text | out-file -FilePath ($folderOut + ".txt")

Previously you had it as ($folderOut + ($txtTrack.Text) + ".txt") . Assuming the tracking number was 123 then the output file would write 123 into the text file called C:\Users\name\Desktop\123123.txt as you doubled up the $txtTrack.Text in the file path.

If you have an OnClick event for a button or something, I would recommend doing som error checking to ensure the text box has valid text inside of it.

It would be a good idea to use Join-Path to concatenate directories.

folderOut = Join-Path -Path (Join-Path -Path $Env:USERPROFILE -ChildPath 'Desktop') -ChildPath $txtTrack.Text
$txtTrack.Text | Out-File -FilePath ($folderOut + ($txtTrack.Text) + ".txt")
