Calling powershell cmdlets from Windows batch file

Question

Ok something so simple is just not working for me. I got a cmdlet that accepts a single parameter. I am trying to call a cmdlet within a Windows batch file. The batch fil

Answer 1

# Test-Args.ps1
param($first, $second)
write-host $first
write-host $second

Call from Command Prompt:

PowerShell.exe -NoProfile -Command "& {./Test-Args.ps1 'C:\Folder A\One' 'C:\Folder B\Two'}"

What's confusing is that if the script is in a folder path containing spaces, PowerShell doesn't recognize the script name in quotes:

PowerShell.exe -NoProfile -Command "& {'C:\Folder X\Test-Args.ps1' 'C:\Folder
 A\One' 'C:\Folder B\Two'}"

But you can get around that using something like:

PowerShell.exe -NoProfile -Command "& {set-location 'C:\Folder X';./Test-Args.ps1 'C:\Folder
 A\One' 'C:\Folder B\Two'}"

Don't use spaces in your .PS1 file name, or you're outta luck.
