  • you have several problems in your code --- [1] the main {} structure is NOT used in powershell [2] your functions need to be defined BEFORE they are called. you have that reversed. [3] variables defined in a function are local to that function. your line 41 is attempting to write to C: - not to the file in the root ... to the root itself. WHY? because $nombre_fichero does not exist in the 2nd function - it was defined in the 1st function.

  • start with just one thing - one very simple thing. make it work. add another thing. make them work with each other. don't use function util you have the items working with each other ... and even then, use functions only if they are needed.

    Welcome Alberto Martín Rodríguez,



    @Gert-Jan-Kraaijeveld is right. You can run as administrator or even better save files to somewhere in your user directory or another suitable location instead of the root of your primary drive.



    i.e. C:$nombre_fichero --> C:Users{{YourUserName}}$nombre_fichero

                  Welcome Alberto Martín Rodríguez,



                  @Gert-Jan-Kraaijeveld is right. You can run as administrator or even better save files to somewhere in your user directory or another suitable location instead of the root of your primary drive.



                  i.e. C:$nombre_fichero --> C:Users{{YourUserName}}$nombre_fichero
