Vista - running script with blank space in path

Hi,

I'm trying tu run script from outside of PowerShell. The file is in a
folder with blank space.
I tried many things - using " or ' or ampersand in the beginning - but
either way I get an error

(powershell.exe "c:\my scripts\test.ps1"
The term 'c:\my' is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operable
program, or
script file. Verify the term and try again.
At line:1 char:6
+ c:\my <<<< scripts\test.ps1)

or when I use ampersand
(powershell.exe -noexit &'c:\my scripts\test.ps1')
I enter PowerShell Console and the script is not executed.

I found this info on ampersand on:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...anual/run.mspx
but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

As the example that follows shows you will have to use a back-tick to escape the space in your file path.

powershell.exe -noexit (&"d:\labs\new` folder\fixeddrivedata.ps1")

You can try this too:


powershell.exe -noexit (& "'D:\Scripts\temp\New Folder\noexit.ps1'")

-or-

powershell.exe -noexit "& 'D:\Scripts\temp\New Folder\noexit.ps1'"
