Could somebody help me with this problem, i have simple powershell script:

Write-Host "Num Args:" $args.Length;
foreach ($arg in $args)
{
  Write-Host "Arg: $arg";
}

and i'm trying to execute with Powershell v3 Modular Input, but i don't know how. In Command or Script Path field says put full path to a script, i did it, but it is not working.

Hi @ribicU, I think it's because your script is not returning something.
"Write-Host" is only printing to console.
Try "Write-Output" instead or save your values to a variable and "return" it in the end.
