I want to extract filename from below path: D:\Server\User\CUST\MEA\Data\In\Files\CORRECTED\CUST_MEAFile.csv Now I wrote this code to get filename.

How do you call a generic static method of a custom class in Powershell?

I'm having trouble figuring out how to both echo to the standard error stream and redirect the error stream of an executable.

If you want to avoid the verbose output of the error records, you could write out

I have a PowerShell script to add a website to a Trusted Sites in Internet Explorer: set-location "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" set-location ZoneMap\Domains new-item TESTSERVERNAME set-location TESTSERVERNAME new-itemproperty . -Name http -Value 2 -Type DWORD I want to execute these PowerShell commands from a batch file. It seems simple when I have to run a single command, BUT in this case I have a sequence of related commands.

I was trying to check whether the port is opened or not using powershell like follows. (new-object Net.Sockets.TcpClient).Connect("10.45.23.109", 443) This method works , but the output is not user-friendly. It means if there are no errors then it has access.
