This will sound super-n00bish, but oh well. $args in PowerShell has changed my life. That is all. Continue with your regularly scheduled ML trolling, lurking, and posting.

How so?

I really only ever used it to check for extra arguments/parameters in my functions / scripts to output an error if the $args.count is higher than it should be, for example.

What are you using it for?

I'm working on a script right now that will make use of start-job and using $args lets me pass the value of a variable between scopes. In this case, I'd be passing a value from earlier in the script into the start-job scriptblock.

Man, it took me forever to figure out how to do something similar!

You could just set the -scope of the variable to global...

I've never used -scope when defining a variable. I'll have to try that out.

Me either, lol. Time to research that tip.

That's if you use the Set-Variable cmdlet, where you would use -Scope.

You can also use $<scope>:variable. For example:

$script:userName = "john.smith"

$global:userName = "john.smith"

Guess they really don't care, and aren't afraid to let everyone know they don't.
