It’s been a while folks. Recently, a colleague of mine asked me how to pass argument(s) to a PowerShell script and how does it work. I even come across the same problem when I started PowerShell so I decided to write something about it for those who may need.
Let’s dig into the subject:
Basically, you want to achieve something like this:
.\Powershell.exe “C:\myScript.ps1” -args1 “value1” -args2 “value2” […] -optional1 -optional2 […]
With as many arguments and optional switch you want.
How it is done?
Edit your script and at the head of your file before everything add the following lines:
The statement:
Param(): declares parameters that will be used, pretty obvious.
[Parameter()]: specifications about the parameter if it is mandatory, its position …
[string] /[int] /[switch]: parameters type.
