Hi everyone, i wrote a script to sign my powershell scripts. When I call the sign script with a file to sign any file, the script works fine. But when I create a batch file to call the powershell script with a file to sign, I get the error message that no file name was given. Batch-File: .\SignFile.ps1 %1% SignFile.ps1: Param ( [string] $File ) $str = "Filename: " + $File Write-Output $str ... How have I to call the powershell script within my batch file to work as I expect? Thanks for the help, Reiner

- 1. call powershell from ASP
can someone post an example or point me to one where I can write an ASP page that calls powershell commands and displays results of a query like "get-disks"? thanks. - 2. When non-ASCII creeps into script
What to do, what to do... When non-ASCII characters creep into a script, what's the best way to see them and remove them? Without re-typing the whole text. Grasping at straws doesn't seem to work: gc psa1.ps1|out-file -encoding ascii psa2.ps1 - 3. powershell trimming extensions internally
Hi All, I've encountered a really strange behavior of powershell. I use a small utility that executes scripts written in C#, and is associated with the .csscript extension. The .csscript is also appended to the PATHEXT environment variable. In CMD.EXE, everything works as expected, and when I type for example backup-db ..., the backup-db.csscript is executed and everything is fine. In powershell, when I type backup-db, it locates the script properly (PATHEXT is used, same as in CMD.EXE), but it doesn't use the registered application to execute the script, but instead opens the script in InterDev. I was really shocked by this behavior, until I found out (through ProcessMonitor), that powershell doesn't look for the .csscript extension, but for .css instead! I've this with other extensions, and the result is always the same - only first three characters of the extension are used. (e.g I've tried renaming a .xml file to .xmlblahblahblah, and typing filename.xmlblahblahblah opens it like an .xml file) I think that limiting extensions to 3 characters smells like good-old 8.3 times, doesn't it? I like powershell, but this is not something I would expect of a modern shell. Looking forward to any comments on this ;) Stefan - 4. Get-Date needs a -Millisecond parameter
Get-Date needs a -Millisecond parameter. Either that or it should zero out the milliseconds. This is an example of the problem I ran into. # -------------------------------------------------------------- # 9:00 PM $dt1 = Get-Date "9:00 PM" # milliseconds are 0 # 9:00 PM $dt2 = Get-Date -Hour "21" -Minute "00" -Second "00" # milliseconds are current milliseconds $dt1 $dt2 "" if( $dt1 -eq $dt2 ) { "equal" } else { "not equal" } "" '$dt1 = ' + $dt1.Ticks '$dt2 = ' + $dt2.Ticks $dt2 - $dt1 # -------------------------------------------------------------- I was able to work around it by using New-Object and the DateTime constructor that includes milliseconds. But I shouldn't have had to do that. Get-Date should be able to handle it.

Two things 1) you have to put powershell in front of the PS script name powershell c:\pathtoscript\SingFile.ps1 2) you dont need trailing % on %1%

Richard just helped me write a PowerShell script to enable/disable a net adapter. Now I want to run the script from a batch file. I tried this: PowerShell -file EnableAdapter.ps1 with no luck. EnableAdapter.ps1 is in my path. It works if I run it from a PS prompt: & EnableAdapter.ps1. It also works if I use the noexit option: PowerShell -noexit -file EnableAdapter.ps1 Is it timing out or something? How can I get the first one to work? Fred
