Example
Admittedly the error in the example is obvious, but it’s just intented to show a possible purpose of the inspector.
In a more complex script you can easily check your variables with this method without writing them out to a textfile.
function Get-Path{
param($switch)
switch($switch){
a{$path = "C:\Temp\a.txt";break}
b{$path = "C:\Temp\b.txt";break}
c{$path = "C:\Temp\.txt";break}
d{$path = "C:\Temp\d.txt";break}
}
return $path
}
$path = Get-Path -switch 'c'
Show-Inspector "path"
Get-Content $path
