I've got a couple things that i'm working on. One of them is sort of an import/export thing i found on here. but i'm getting the following error
PS C:\Users\joeblogs> C:\Users\joeblogs\Scripts\Copy user data.ps1 Invalid assignment expression. The left hand side of an assignment operator needs to be something that can be assigned to like a variable or a property. At C:\Users\delpillay\Documents\Scripts\Copy user data.ps1:16 char:12 + $username = <<<< gc env:userame + CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidLeftHandSide
I don't know where to start and i'm not sure what to try...
