I was asked if there was a way to capture output of a specific program to a variable.
Basically, the person wanted to get a version number from the program.
Played around and had a way to accomplish this but I found a simpler approach.
$scriptOutput = & "c:\path\program.exe" -V 2&1
Obviously, the -V works with the program in question.
I am liking powershell
