Found an issue though using this method as I wanted to pass a path via a variable but it would fail.

. {“$scriptpath\runme.ps1″}

Wouldn’t work with or without quotes, but found a simple solution which was to remove the braces.

. $Scriptpath\runme.ps1

Pretty obvious I guess but it stumped me for awhile so thought others may benefit.

Thx

I got the solution. Incase if anybody is looking for it.
invoke-expression $variable-name

I am looking out for exactly what you have asked for. Did you find the solution to this further. Is there anything like shell object.Run “$sScript” as we have in vbscript.
Please put down the solution if you have found one.

I want to place a script and all supporting files in a subfolder and then loop through each subfolder and call run.ps1. This is what I presently do with CMD files, that way when I no longer need a module we just delete the folder. Similarly if I need to add a module I just drop in a new folder. I don’t want to edit the calling script, if I can avoid it.

Here’s what I have:

$list = Get-ChildItem C:\APPS\SCRIPTS -exclude maintenance.ps1 | Sort-Object Name

foreach ($i in $list)
{
Write-Host “Processing ” $i”…”
$sScript = [STRING]$i + “\run.ps1″
# this line works
.{c:\apps\scripts00_Critical\run.ps1}
# this line doesn’t work
.{$sScript}
}
