How to return multiple values from Powershell function

I used this trick few times when I had function that had to return more values…

As I wrote here, you can access dictionary object using syntax $Dictionary.Key… If your function returns dictionary, then you can use it to your advantage :)

   1: Function Get-MultiValue () { 

   2:  [hashtable]$Return = @{} 

   3:  

   4:  $Return.Success = $True 

   5:  $Return.PercentComplete = 100 

   6:  $Return.ReturnTime = $(Get-Date) 

   7:  $Return.Username = "Martin Zugec" 

   8:  

   9:  Return $Return 

  10: }

Usage is pretty obvious:

   1: $Var = Get-MultiValue 

   2:  

   3: If ($Var.Success) { 

   4:     $Var.UserName 

   5:     $Var.ReturnTime 

   6: }

Easy and useful sometimes…
