Powershell: Function Prompt In Ps1 Script

Question

Want to pull off something similar to " set /p variable = x " from batch.

How can we make this happen in PS1?

Script example that im using

Function Prompt { 'PS' + $x + '>' }

Answer 1

The equivalent to set /p in PowerShell would be Read-Host :

$value = Read-Host "Give me some input"

The host application (eg. powershell.exe ) will now prompt the user for input with the caption Give me some input: , and the result will be stored in $value
