What is the PowerShell equivalent of bash's exec()?
You can also use .\Script.ps1
Or start typing the name and use TAB
to complete the script name.
Dot-sourcing a script allows a function to become available on the command line.
For example:
Function Get-LocalTime { $CurTime = Get-Date"The Date and time currently is $CurTime"}
Now we dot source (name the above script Example.ps1) PS C:\>. .\Example.ps1
Allowing us to simply type and Tab complete Get-LocalTime
-edit to comment, you can define a function and use the function immediately in the same script. So in Example.ps1
, at the last line just enter Get-LocalTime
