dos command in powershell

Hi there, as suggested to me a few days ago, i'm trying to make a "net
use \\printerserver" into my ps1 scripts, but don't succeed; my
command line i try to use is

$chaine="net view \\"+$server
$pi=&{$chaine}

i've tried

$chaine="net view \\"+$server
$pi=&($chaine)
$pi

too but nothing happens... $pi stays equal to $null; why ?

if it is not so that i have to do, how could i execute a dos command
and get the result into a PS variable ?

btye

ok, forget it, i've found : just type
$chaine=net view \\$Serveur
returns the result in $chaine.


Thanks

Just a FYI. If you want to use variables in a string you use double quotes.
This should so what you want.
$chaine="net view \\$Serveur"
invoke-expression $chaine
