Pass variable from one function to another in powershell - powershell

Question

I have a function that receives a parameter which contains the file it should work on ($archivo). That same value should be passed on to another function that is called within the same function. But for some reason on the second function I'm getting a blank value.
function EXTRAER_DATA_COMIDA_Y_CREAR_WORD ($archivo) {
write-host "EXTRAER_DATA_COMIDA" -foreground green
$FILE = Join-Path -Path $root\UNB\FACTURA_FINAL\ -ChildPath $archivo
$result = switch -Regex -File $FILE {
'^([\d,.]+)\s+([\w\s]+)\s+([\d,.]+)' {
[PsCustomObject]#{
Quantity = $matches[1].Trim()
Product = $matches[2].Trim()
Price = $matches[3].Trim()
}
}
}
,$result
CREAR_DOCWORD($result,$archivo)
}
Which is the correct way to do it?
Thanks in advance !
EDIT: This is the new code as far as I can go
$results =function EXTRAER_DATA_COMIDA_Y_CREAR_WORD($archivo)
{
write-host "EXTRAER_DATA_COMIDA" -fore green
$FILE = Join-Path -Path $root\UNB\FACTURA_FINAL\ -ChildPath $archivo
$result = switch -Regex -File $FILE {
'^([\d,.]+)\s+([\w\s]+)\s+([\d,.]+)' {
[PsCustomObject]#{
Quantity = $matches[1].Trim()
Product = $matches[2].Trim()
Price = $matches[3].Trim()
}
}
}
,#($result)
Write-Host "variables que entran a docword" $results $results.GetType() $archivo
CREAR_DOCWORD $results $archivo
}
FUNCTION CREAR_DOCWORD($COMIDA,$archivo) {
$objWord = New-Object -ComObject word.application
$objWord.Visible = $True
$Path = "$root\UNB\script\Tiquete_UnBilling.docx"
$objDoc = $objWord.Documents.Open("$Path")
$objSelection = $objWord.Selection
Write-Host "variables docword" $COMIDA $COMIDA.GetType() $archivo
## ESTA FUNCION CREA LA TABLA CON LOS DATOS DE COMIDA
Write-Host "TAMAÑO ARRAY" $COMIDA.Length
Write-Host "NOMBRE ARCHIVO" $archivo
$table = $objDoc.Tables(1)
for ($i=0; $i -le $comida.Count; $i++){
Write-Host "contador" $i
$table.rows.add() | out-null
$table.cell(($i+2),1).Range.Text = $comida[$i].Quantity
$table.cell(($i+2),2).Range.Text = $comida[$i].Product
$table.cell(($i+2),3).Range.Text = $comida[$i].Price
}
}
Even using ,#($result) I get a type object that looks like System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject so it cant be use in the for loop because it has no size.

Got it to work... the code is as following.
function EXTRAER_DATA_COMIDA_Y_CREAR_WORD($archivo)
{
write-host "EXTRAER_DATA_COMIDA" -fore green
$FILE = Join-Path -Path $root\UNB\FACTURA_FINAL\ -ChildPath $archivo
$result = switch -Regex -File $FILE {
'^([\d,.]+)\s+([\w\s]+)\s+([\d,.]+)' {
[PsCustomObject]#{
Quantity = $matches[1].Trim()
Product = $matches[2].Trim()
Price = $matches[3].Trim()
}
}
}
Write-Host "variables que entran a docword" $result $result.GetType() $archivo
&CREAR_DOCWORD -COMIDA #($result) -archivo $archivo
}
FUNCTION CREAR_DOCWORD {
Param($COMIDA,$archivo)
$objWord = New-Object -ComObject word.application
$objWord.Visible = $True
$Path = "$root\UNB\script\Tiquete_UnBilling.docx"
$objDoc = $objWord.Documents.Open("$Path")
$objSelection = $objWord.Selection
Write-Host "variables docword" $COMIDA $COMIDA.GetType() $archivo
## ESTA FUNCION CREA LA TABLA CON LOS DATOS DE COMIDA
Write-Host "TAMAÑO ARRAY" $COMIDA.Length
Write-Host "NOMBRE ARCHIVO" $archivo
$table = $objDoc.Tables(1)
for ($i=0; $i -le $comida.Count; $i++){
Write-Host "contador" $i
$table.rows.add() | out-null
$table.cell(($i+2),1).Range.Text = $comida[$i].Quantity
$table.cell(($i+2),2).Range.Text = $comida[$i].Product
$table.cell(($i+2),3).Range.Text = $comida[$i].Price
}
