Powershell Popup box

[ziogref]

Hi guys, Below is the first line of code in my powershell script

When I run it I want it to have a popup box where I can enter the value for the "AddMonths" field (which below is -5)

So basically I run the script, A popup pops up, I enter that value (in this case -5) and then hit ok, then the -5 would then be put into the "AddMonths" value field and then the script continues to run.

How do I do the pop up box?

Get-ChildItem -Path "G:\Torrents" -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -lt (Get-Date).AddMonths(-5)} | Move-Item -Destination "G:\temp"

PowerShell is aimed at automating system administrator tasks without any UI need. Its whole design centres around letting domain admins create batches of users, resetting passwords for batches of users, performing silent installs of software etc. all from commands with only a command prompt frontend interface at most (a bit like the old DOS bach files).

 

If you want to have values set when the script first runs, take a look at:

If however you want extra UI functionality - popup dialogs, forms, sounds well then PowerShell is likely a bad/wrong design choice to continue with for this - if you post your actual full task you're hoping to accomplish, perhaps we can help suggest the best, or a more preferred way outside of PowerShell to accomplish it then.
