# Those in single quotes are normal strings, like 'Peter' # Notice the type of quotes - important ! # Invoke-Expression $command | Tee-Object -Variable cmdOutput # or if you need also output to a variable # all passed-in entries into 1 single string line Works well: # function with one argument will flatten This directive is specifically designed to convert a string to runnable command. That flattens them, including arrays, to a single string, which I then execute using PS's 'Invoke-Expression'. Then I use a simple trick of passing all arguments inside double quotes to a function with 1 single parameter. This way it is very easy to read and edit. I place arguments in an array, 1 per line. I use this simple, clean and effective method. References : Powershell/Scripting/Start-Process
By default Windows PowerShell opens a new window. Parameter is used to display the new process in the current console window. Note that in powershell to represent the quotation mark ( " ) in a string you should insert the grave accent ( ` ) (This is the key above the Tab key in the US keyboard). This method is easier as it allows to type your parameters in one go. In your case Start-Process -NoNewWindow -FilePath "C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy\msdeploy.exe" -ArgumentList "-verb:sync -source:dbfullsql=`"Data Source=mysource Integrated Security=false User ID=sa Pwd=sapass! Database=mydb `" -dest:dbfullsql=`"Data Source=.\mydestsource Integrated Security=false User ID=sa Pwd=sapass! Database=mydb `",computername=10.10.10.10,username=administrator,password=adminpass" Simple Example Start-Process -NoNewWindow -FilePath "C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.19\bin\mysql" -ArgumentList "-u root -proot -h localhost" In this method you separate each and every parameter in the ArgumentList using commas. In your case Start-Process -NoNewWindow -FilePath "C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy\msdeploy.exe" -ArgumentList "-verb:sync","-source:dbfullsql=`"Data Source=mysource Integrated Security=false User ID=sa Pwd=sapass! Database=mydb `"","-dest:dbfullsql=`"Data Source=.\mydestsource Integrated Security=false User ID=sa Pwd=sapass! Database=mydb `"","computername=10.10.10.10","username=administrator","password=adminpass" Microsoft recommends using Start-Process.Ī simple example Start-Process -NoNewWindow -FilePath "C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.19\bin\mysql" -ArgumentList "-u root","-proot","-h localhost" There are other methods like using the Call Operator ( &), Invoke-Expression cmdlet etc. There are quite a few methods you can use to do it.

If this is an area of pain for you, then please vote up this PowerShell bug submission.įor more information on how PowerShell parses, check out my Effective PowerShell blog series - specifically item 10 - "Understanding PowerShell Parsing Modes"
:-) They also realize this is an area of pain, but they are driven by the number of folks are affected by a particular issue. They were quite helpful in showing me the specific incantation of single & double quotes to get the desired result - if you needed to keep the internal double quotes in place. Apparently that isn't necessary because even cmd.exe will strip those out.īTW, hats off to the PowerShell team. It turns out I was trying too hard before to maintain the double quotes around the connection string. Using echoargs you can experiment until you get it right, for example: PS> echoargs -verb:sync "-source:dbfullsql=Data Source=mysource Integrated Security=false User ID=sa Pwd=sapass! Database=mydb " You just replace the EXE file with echoargs - leaving all the arguments in place, and it will show you how the EXE file will receive the arguments, for example: PS> echoargs -verb:sync -source:dbfullsql="Data Source=mysource Integrated Security=false User ID=sa Pwd=sapass! Database=mydb " -dest:dbfullsql="Data Source=.\mydestsource Integrated Security=false User ID=sa Pwd=sapass! Database=mydb ",computername=10.10.10.10,username=administrator,password=adminpass The PowerShell Community Extensions has such a tool. When you invoke an EXE file like this with complex command line arguments it is usually very helpful to have a tool that will show you how PowerShell sends the arguments to the EXE file. If you want PowerShell to interpret the string as a command name then use the call operator (&) like so: PS> & 'C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy\msdeploy.exe'Īfter that you probably only need to quote parameter/argument pairs that contain spaces and/or quotation chars. When PowerShell sees a command starting with a string it just evaluates the string, that is, it typically echos it to the screen, for example: PS> "Hello World"
