Title
Body
I'm new to Powershell and I'm trying to work out how to print the value of a [ref] variable from within a function. Here is my test code: function testref([ref]$obj1) { $obj1.value = $obj1.value + 5 write-host "the new value is $obj1" $obj1 | get-member } $foo = 0 "foo starts with $foo" testref([ref]$foo) "foo ends with $foo" The output I get from this test is as follows. You'll notice that I don't get the value of $obj1 as I was hoping. I also tried passing in $obj1.value in the call to write-host but that generated the same response. PS > .\testref.ps1 foo starts with 0 the new value is System.Management.Automation.PSReference TypeName: System.Management.Automation.PSReference Name MemberType Definition ---- ---------- ---------- Equals Method bool Equals(System.Object obj) GetHashCode Method int GetHashCode() GetType Method type GetType() ToString Method string ToString() Value Property System.Object Value {get;set;} foo ends with 5
