Get return value from Powershell (Using windows batch command)

[Kake]

Hi

Using Jenkins to execute some scripts in a continuous integration task.

I have a job who copies some files to a folder, the name of the folder is dynamically created.  I wish to get the name of the folder.. back from my script.

The script is executed using "windows batch command", i.e. 

set scriptpath=%SCRIPT_HOME%\stage.ps1

powershell.exe "& {%scriptpath% -SOURCEFOLDERNAME %SourceFolderName% -SOURCEPATH %SourcePath% -TARGETHOST1 %TargetHost1% -TARGETHOST2 %TargetHost2%; exit $lastexitcode}"

the ps script terminates using  return $stagingFolderName

Have tried to set the dynamic "FolderName"  as a Env variable but it's not accessible after the ps1 is done.. 

#[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("stagingFolderName", $stagingFolderName, "User")

#[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("stagingFolderName", $stagingFolderName, "Process")

#[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("stagingFolderName", $stagingFolderName, "Machine")

#$env:stagingFolderName = $stagingFolderName

Im unable to find a correct syntax or way to get the folderName.. 

feks. Pseudo: set myVar = powershell.exe "& {%scriptpath% -SOURCEFOLDERNAME %SourceFolderName% -SOURCEPATH %SourcePath% -TARGETHOST1 %TargetHost1% -TARGETHOST2 %TargetHost2%; exit $lastexitcode}" --> Won't execute..

(Not using the powershell plugin for the missing error return)

Use the 'Environment Injector' plugin. It allows you to load variable definition from a (Java .properties) file into the job environment.

Example:
--
First build step: Windows batch command:
echo foo=bar > env.properties

Second build step: Inject environment variables:
Properties File Path: env.properties
--
So just have your PS script write the properties file.
