How to use a variable inside a Foreach-Object Parallel?
There are two different types of the variable we can use inside foreach parallel loop. One that is declared inside and the other that is declared outside of the foreach parallel loop.
Please note − We are discussing here Foreach-Object Parallel loop, featured in PowerShell version 7. For a normal foreach loop inside and outside variables are the same.
Variable declared inside the Foreach parallel loop can be used directly with its name. For example,
Example
$vms = "TestVm1","TestVM2","TestVm3"
$Vms | ForEach-Object -Parallel{
$var1 = $_
Write-Output "Testing VM: $var1"
}Output
Testing VM: TestVm1 Testing VM: TestVM2 Testing VM: TestVm3
In the above example, $var1 is declared inside the foreach parallel loop and we can use it directly by its name as shown. But the below example, $log variable declared outside the foreach parallel loop we can use it inside the loop with $Using keyword followed by the variable name.
$vms = "TestVm1","TestVM2","TestVm3"
$log = "Application"
$Vms | ForEach-Object -Parallel{
$var1 = $_
Write-Output "Checking $($using:log) on $var1"
}Output
Checking Application on TestVm1 Checking Application on TestVM2 Checking Application on TestVm3
In the above example, $using:log variable is used inside the foreach parallel loop is a $log variable.
