SYNTAX¶

Convert-HashtableToString [-Hashtable] <Object> [[-IndentLevel] <Int32>] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>]
 [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION¶

Recursively converts a hashtable to its code representation. This function is useful for exporting hashtables to .psd1 files.

EXAMPLES¶

EXAMPLE 1¶

$hashtable = @{
    Key1 = 'Value1'
    Key2 = @{
        NestedKey1 = 'NestedValue1'
        NestedKey2 = 'NestedValue2'
    }
    Key3 = @(1, 2, 3)
    Key4 = $true
}
Convert-HashtableToString -Hashtable $hashtable

This will return the following string: @{ Key1 = 'Value1' Key2 = @{ NestedKey1 = 'NestedValue1' NestedKey2 = 'NestedValue2' } Key3 = @(1, 2, 3) Key4 = $true }
