Ok something so simple is just not working for me. I got a cmdlet that accepts a single parameter. I am trying to call a cmdlet within a Windows batch file. The batch file contains:
cd %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
powershell 'C:\convert-utf8-to-utf16.ps1 C:\test.txt'
powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted
pause
My ps1 file again not doing anything special:
function convert-utf8-to-utf16 {
$tempfile = "C:\temp.txt"
set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
get-content -Path $args[0] -encoding utf8 | out-file $tempfile -encoding Unicode
set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted
}
When i execute the bat file it just runs to completion (no error messages) and it does not appear to create the temp.txt file.
I can run the powershell command file at the PS command prompt but not in cmd!
Anyone got any ideas what could be wrong?
