Vim with Powershell

Question

I\'m using gvim on Windows.

In my _vimrc I\'ve added:

set shell=powershell.exe
set shellcmdflag=-c
set shellpipe=>
set shellredir=>

function!

None of the answers on this page were working for me until I found this hint from https://github.com/dougireton/mirror_pond/blob/master/vimrc - set shellxquote= [space character] was the missing piece.

if has("win32") || has("gui_win32") 
     if executable("PowerShell") 
        " Set PowerShell as the shell for running external ! commands 
        " http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7605917/system-with-powershell-in-vim      
        set shell=PowerShell 
        set shellcmdflag=-ExecutionPolicy\ RemoteSigned\ -Command 
        set shellquote=\" 
        " shellxquote must be a literal space character. 
        set shellxquote=  
   endif 
endif
