PowerShell Read-Host

Question

SO, in my PS script I am asking the user multiple questions.

example:

$username = Read-Host("What is your username?")
$password = Read-Host("What is your password?")
$monthName = Read-Host("Which month are you running this report for?")
$data = Read-Host("Enter the full path to the data file you would like to report?")

I know if I make a GUI I can ask all of these questions at once, however I have not made a GUI in PS before(although I am trying).

Is there any other way I can ask all of these questions at once, without building a GUI?

Thanks.

I suggest just using Primal Forms to create a gui. Its as easy as dragging and dropping windows, text boxes, buttons, ect. It generates the proper script based on what you designed and you just copy the code into PowerShell.
