Product, version and build: 5.1.13
32 or 64 bit version of product: 64
Operating system: windows 7
32 or 64 bit OS: 32 & 64
PowerShell Version: 4

I have a field that gets the PC name. The variable is called $PC. I then want to find out all file owners on $PC. This code works perfect from PowerShell ISE but I cannot get it to display anything in my RichTextBox. I've also tried piping it to Out-Gridview and that also shows nothing.
Any guidance would be nice. thanks.

$buttonFindFileOwner_Click={
function Get-OpenFile
{
Param (
[string]$ComputerName
)

$openfiles = openfiles.exe /query /s $computerName /fo csv /V
$openfiles | ForEach-Object {
$line = $_
if ($line -match '","') {$line}

} | ConvertFrom-Csv
}

$Result = Get-OpenFile -ComputerName $PC | select-object 'Accessed By', '#Locks', 'Open Mode', 'Open File (Path\executable)'

$FileOwner = $Result | Out-String
$richtextbox_Output.AppendText($FileOwner)

Your function is not in scope when you are calling it:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1. function Get-OpenFile {
2.     Param (
3.         [string]$ComputerName
4.     )
5.    
6.     $openfiles = openfiles.exe /query /s $computerName /fo csv /V
7.     $openfiles | ForEach-Object {
8.         $line = $_
9.         if ($line -match '","') { $line }
10.        
11.     } | ConvertFrom-Csv
12. }
13.  
14.  
15. $buttonFindFileOwner_Click = {
16.     $Result = Get-OpenFile -ComputerName $PC |
17.         select-object 'Accessed By', '#Locks', 'Open Mode', 'Open File (Path\executable)'
18.     $richtextbox_Output.AppendText($Result)
19. }

Hello, I am not sure what you mean by "my function is not in scope" I tried your code and it does not produce anything in my RichTextBox window. Also, I don't see how your steps work. if I move my function outside of the ButtonClick it did not work. Also, I only want this Function to run if the button is clicked.
thank you.

A function inside of a button click does not run and it is not in scope for any other event. It is local only.
