Call PowerShell with variables from another PowerShell

Question

I have 2 scripts: Script #1 is calling to script #2 with several params But i wasn't able to get the params in script #2 Maybe you can advise please

Script #1:

$Version = "227"
$Type = "regular"

C:\GetParamsScript.ps1 -Version_To_Compare $Version -Type_Of_Report  $Type

Script #2:

$Version_To_Compare
$Type_Of_Report

write-host "Version_To_Compare $Version_To_Compare"
write-host "Type_Of_Report $Type_Of_Report"

Script #2 is missing a param(...) block with parameter declarations - see the conceptual about_Functions help topic — mklement0

I'm not sure if the script you've posted here is the whole thing, but you should use param blocks to pass data into your script/function.

So script #2 would look have something like this;

param (
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string]$Version_To_Compare,
    [string]$Type_Of_Report
    
)

You would then use the parameter variables the same way you're using them now.

Note that Parameter() attributes apply only to the one parameter immediately following it, so $Type_Of_Report is an optional parameter in your example.
