Can I pass object along the pipeline to a ps1?

Can I do something like this?

ps|some.ps1|stop-process

A workaround of sorts was to use something like this:

ps|some_filter|stop-process

some_filter was simply a filter declaration contained in a ps1 script that I
dot-sourced containing something like:

filter some_filter {$_.something}

Yep but either some.ps1 has to be in your path or you have to specify the
full path to some.ps1. If the some.ps1 is in the current location then you
can specify the path like so:

ps | .\some \ stop-process

Tried that but it didn't seem to work. I'll have to try again later.

I must check if you call a filter like you do a function in scripts.

Like having some.ps1 be:
-----start
filter some_filter {$_.something}
.. some_filter
-----end

Script blocks, functions, and scripts are all kinda related this way and
allow begin, process, end such as

PS C:\TEMP> cat myfilter.ps1
begin
{
echo "begin"
}
process
{
if ( $_.Name -like "zu*" ) { $_ } # Just output the ones you want (i.e.
filter objects).
}
end
{
"end"
}


Output
----------------------------------
PS C:\TEMP> ps | .\myfilter
begin
