Output Variable 01

Use a variable name defined in your script that you want to return as Published Data. You can use either the PowerShell notation $var1 or the variable name var1. The value of an element must be a simple type value and not an object or collection of objects. You cannot specify an object property, such as $var1.propertyname, as an output element. The name in the output element must be the name of an actual PowerShell variable. If the PowerShell variable contains a complex type or a collection of objects, the data returned is similar to System.Object or System.Object[] because the contents of the output variable cannot be represented as a string.
