Ever wanted to get a sorted list of all variables used inside a script? Use this function: simply call Get-ScriptVariables and supply a path to your PowerShell script. You will then get back a sorted list of all variable names found in that script:
function Get-ScriptVariables($path) { $result = Get-Content $path | ForEach-Object { if ( $_ -match '($.*?)s*=') { $matches[1] | Where-Object { $_ -notlike '*.*' } } } $result | Sort-Object | Get-Unique }
Get-ScriptVariables “$homemyscript.ps1”
