RUn PS1 script with param

[erezpaz]

Hi

I want to run PS1 scripts from inside Winbatch and pass parameters to it. The PS1 will include param ($LogFile, $TTL) to accept my parameters. I found this KB article that help to run but I didn't find a whey to pass parameters to the PS1.

Thanks

Winbatch essentially 'shells out' to powershell as my script you referenced indicates. If you know the parameters in advance, or collect them from a WB dialog, I would suggest you create a PS1 template with |p1| and |p2| as placeholders to be replaced with the actual parameters. Basically

Code (Winbatch) Select Expand


PSscript=fileget(template)

PSscript=StrReplace(PSscript,"|p1|", param1)
PSscript=StrReplace(PSscript,"|p2|", param2)

......
oPshell.AddScript(PSscript,oScope)
objAsync = oPshell.BeginInvoke()
oPShell.EndInvoke(objAsync)     
oPshell.Dispose()
oPshell=0

If your PS script can be modified to use variables then something like the following might be useful:

Code (winbatch) Select Expand

; Example script.
strScript = 'get-process |where {$_.Name -like $proc}'

; Boiler plate.
ObjectClrOption("use", "System.Management.Automation,version=1.0.0.0,publicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35,culture=neutral")
objAutoPs = ObjectClrNew("System.Management.Automation.PowerShell")
objPs     = objAutoPs.Create()

; Set the script variable.
objPs.AddCommand("Set-Variable");
objPs.AddParameter("name",  "proc");
objPs.AddParameter("value", "WinBatch*");

; Add the script.
objPs.AddScript(strScript,ObjectType("BOOL",@TRUE))

; Invoke the script.
objAsync = objPs.BeginInvoke()
objPsCol = objPs.EndInvoke(objAsync)

; Display results.
nCount = objPsCol.Count - 1
for x = 0 to nCount
   objItem = objPsCol.Item(x)
   objCast = objItem.BaseObject()
   Message("Process Info", "Process name: ":objCast.ProcessName:@CRLF:"id: ":objCast.Id)
next
objPs.Dispose()
objPs=0
