Question

The code below is part of a switch and it\'s working fine, but the problem is: I need to change my file name to 15... Is it possible to to change it so that when I start it,

Below is my example.ps1 file that I use to write 1-off scripts. In your case I think you can get what you want with it. For example (no pun intended) you could call this script by typing

C:\PathToYourScripts\example.ps1 [tab]

where [tab] represents pressing the tab key. Powershell intellisense will kick in and offer autocompletion for file names. If your .csv file is not in the current director you can easily use Powershell intellisense to help you find it

C:\PathToYourScripts\example.ps1  C:\PathToCSvFiles[tab]

and powershell will autocomplete. Would-be-downvoters might notice that powershell autocomplete is definitely NOT a complete file-picker but this seems to fulfill the intent of the asked question. Here's the sample.

<#

param (
      [string] $fileName
)
Begin {
}

Process {
    if ($PSCmdlet.ShouldProcess("Simulated execution to process $($fileName):  Omit -Whatif to process ")) {
       Write-Information -Message "Processing $fileName" -InformationAction Continue
    }
}

End {
}

If you want to get autocomplete help for multiple parameters just type in the parameter name(s) and press [tab] after each one. Note that leaving the parameters blank will not break the script but you can either extend this to mark the parameters required or just fail with a helpful message. That seems a bit beyond the original question so I'll stop here.
