I need to call .bat file from Powershell script

Question

We are migrating perl script to powershell script. In Perl the code is as shown below

$rc=\'D:\\\\EmailConnector\\\\run.bat> $EmailConnector_log;\';
         


        

Answer 1

Use the call operator (&), like this:

& 'D:\EmailConnector\run.bat' > $EmailConnector_log

The return value of the batch script is automatically put into the variable $LastExitCode.
