Parsing vars from Ansble to powershell

Question

I have created my own module. This module executes a powershellscript.

But now I need to overgive them some variables, how can I do this.

I already have tried with this:

$data = Get-Content $args[0] | Out-String | ConvertFrom-Json

But that doesnt work.

Do you have any suggestions?

Why use `Out-String` when you can just use `Get-Content -Raw`? — AdminOfThings, Jan 05 '21 at 16:15

Piping to Out-String is not necessary here. You can utilize the -Raw switch on Get-Content if you want to read file contents as a single string:

$data = Get-Content $args[0] -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json
