Getting all Named Parameters from Powershell including empty and set ones
I found this most useful for PS4 (Windows 2012 R2) - it includes default values / optional parameters:
$cmdName = $MyInvocation.InvocationName
$paramList = (Get-Command -Name $cmdName).Parameters
foreach ( $key in $paramList.Keys ) {
$value = (Get-Variable $key -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Value
if ( $value -or $value -eq 0 ) {
Write-Host "$key -> $value"
}
}
Check this solution out. This uses the CmdletBinding()
attribute, which provides some additional metadata through the use of the $PSCmdlet
built-in variable. You can:
- Dynamically retrieve the command's name, using
$PSCmdlet
- Get a list of the parameter for the command, using
Get-Command
- Examine the value of each parameter, using the
Get-Variable
cmdlet
Code:
function test {
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
[string] $Bar = 'test'
, [string] $Baz
, [string] $Asdf
)
# Get the command name
$CommandName = $PSCmdlet.MyInvocation.InvocationName;
# Get the list of parameters for the command
$ParameterList = (Get-Command -Name $CommandName).Parameters;
# Grab each parameter value, using Get-Variable
foreach ($Parameter in $ParameterList) {
Get-Variable -Name $Parameter.Values.Name -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue;
#Get-Variable -Name $ParameterList;
}
}
test -asdf blah;
Output
The output from the command looks like this:
Name Value
---- -----
Bar test
Baz
Asdf blah
Hopefully, some may find this one-liner useful:
function test()
{
Param(
[string]$foo,
[string]$bar,
[string]$baz = "baz"
)
$MyInvocation.MyCommand.Parameters | Format-Table -AutoSize @{ Label = "Key"; Expression={$_.Key}; }, @{ Label = "Value"; Expression={(Get-Variable -Name $_.Key -EA SilentlyContinue).Value}; }
}
test -foo "foo!"
Result
Keys Value
---- -----
foo foo!
bar
baz baz
To read the value dynamically use the get-variable
function / cmdlet
write-host (get-variable "foo")
To print out all of the parameters do the following
foreach ($key in $MyInvocation.BoundParameters.keys)
{
$value = (get-variable $key).Value
write-host "$key -> $value"
}
