I am trying to get a value from an input box from a Powershell script back to a UI Path Sequence. I have created a simple sequence as an example. Yes, I know I could do this all in UI Path, I am just using an easy example as a way to try and test this for future use cases. Here is my sequence:
My text file from "Read text file" is:
$test = "Desktop/PassingArgs2of2.ps1 -Message foo"
Invoke-Expression -Command $test
The activity in UiPath looks like so:
The psCmd that I am running in the Invoke power shell activity looks like this:
Param(
[parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string]
$Message)
try{
$Global:fooVar = $null
function Test-InputBox(){
[void][Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.VisualBasic')
$msg = "fooMsg"
$title = "fooTitle"
$localtest = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox($msg, $title)
$Global:fooVar = $localtest.ToString()
}
Test-InputBox
}
catch{}
I tried setting fooVar equal to testLocal in the PowerShellVariables within Invoke power shell and then writing it, but that did not work.
Basically I want to get fooVar back into UI Path. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
