How to "pipe" console values into interactive Windows PowerShell command (to make it non-interactive)
To "pipe" console values into an interactive Windows PowerShell command and make it non-interactive, you can use PowerShell's -Command
parameter to pass a command string to PowerShell for execution.
Here's an example command that demonstrates how to pipe console values into an interactive PowerShell command:
bashGet-Content -Path 'C:\path\to\file.txt' | powershell -Command "& {Param($value) Write-Host 'Value: ' $value }" -value $_
In this example, we're using the Get-Content
cmdlet to read the contents of a file, and then piping that content into a PowerShell command using the |
symbol.
The PowerShell command is passed to PowerShell using the -Command
parameter, which takes a string containing the command to execute. The &
character is used to specify that we want to execute a command string, rather than a file or script.
The command string itself uses the Param()
statement to define a parameter named $value
, which will be used to receive the value passed from the console. Then, the Write-Host
cmdlet is used to print the value of $value
to the console.
Finally, we use the -value
parameter to pass the console value into the PowerShell command. The $_
symbol is used to represent the current value being piped from the console.
Note that the command string should be enclosed in quotes, and any quotes used within the string should be escaped with a backtick (`) character.
