how to call variables from a running script to a different script powershell

Question

I want a script to get a variable from a different script which are both running on the system. Is that possible?

I have two scripts running on the system, and I want one script to pull a user-defined variable instead of asking the user to input the data twice

Assuming both scripts are running concurrently, MSMQ would be one option:

What's the best way to pass values to a running/background script block?

Global Variables are only "Global" in the context of scopes in the current session. They aren't visible to a script running is a different session.

Write it to a text file and have the other script read it. You can load up the text into a variable, then execute it as code using iex (Invoke-Expression).
