Passing a variable to a powershell script via command line
Make this in your test.ps1, at the first line
param([string]$a)Write-Host $aThen you can call it with
./Test.ps1 "Here is your text"
Here's a good tutorial on Powershell params:
PowerShell ABC's - P is for Parameters
Basically, you should use a param statement on the first line of the script
param([type]$p1 = , [type]$p2 = , ...)
or use the $args built-in variable, which is auto-populated with all of the args.
Declare the parameter in test.ps1:
Param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$True,Position=1)] [string]$input_dir, [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)] [string]$output_dir, [switch]$force = $false )Run the script from Run OR Windows Task Scheduler:
powershell.exe -command "& C:\FTP_DATA\test.ps1 -input_dir C:\FTP_DATA\IN -output_dir C:\FTP_DATA\OUT"or,
powershell.exe -command "& 'C:\FTP DATA\test.ps1' -input_dir 'C:\FTP DATA\IN' -output_dir 'C:\FTP DATA\OUT'"
