Can I get “&&” or “-and” to work in PowerShell?

Question

&& is notoriously hard to search for on Google Search, but the best I\'ve found is this article which says to use -and.

Unfortunatel

Answer 1

If your command is available in cmd.exe (something like python ./script.py, but not PowerShell command like ii . (this means to open the current directory by Windows Explorer)), you can run cmd.exe within PowerShell. The syntax is like this:

cmd /c "command1 && command2"

Here, && is provided by cmd syntax described in this question.
