Get ValueFromRemainingArguments as an hashtable

Question

Using [parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)] one can get all the remaining arguments passed to the function into a variable as a list.

How can I

Answer 1

This is tricky because using [Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)] means this is an advanced function, and $args cannot be used in advanced functions.

But if you want a hashtable of all the specified parameters and their values, you could simply use $PSBoundParameters, like so :

function foo {
    [cmdletbinding()]

    param( 
        [Parameter(Position=0)]       
        $Name,

        [Parameter(Position=1,ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)]
        $LastName
    )

    "PSBoundParameters : " 
    $PSBoundParameters

}
foo -Name Mike Jordan Jones

This results in the following :

PSBoundParameters : 

Key                                               Value                                           
---                                               -----                                           
Name                                              Mike                                            
LastName                                          {Jordan, Jones}         

Is this what you are trying to achieve ?
