Running app in Powershell
-
I have an app that is in a folder, which is in the environment path. When i run the app, at the prompt like so, it runs fine.
> MyApp
If I add a commandline parameter to it, I get nothing:
> MyApp /msg:"test"
I know the command line parameter is valid, because it works when I run it in visual studio. I've also tried (none of these worked either):
> MyApp /msg:"test"
MyApp /msg:'test'
MyApp '/msg:"test"'
MyApp "/msg:""test"""I have next to zero knowledge regarding powershell. What am I doing wrong?

You can never have too much ammo - unless you're swimming, or on fire. - JSOP, 2010

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013I'm just guessing, but did you try a hyphen instead of the slash?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

app doesn't recognize hyphens (I wrote the app, so that's how I know).

I have just run a simple test and my app works fine:
PS C:\Users\rjmac\Documents\VSCode\C++> test /msg:"test"
argc = 2
argv[1] = /msg:test
C++ test result: 0
PS C:\Users\rjmac\Documents\VSCode\C++>I have to do this to get it to work: Start-Process PSMsgBox.exe -ArgumentList "/msg:""This is a test message"""

msgwas the problem? Even though it worked in my test; which is very basic of course. [edit] There is a section in about_Special_Characters - PowerShell | Microsoft Docs[^] headed "Stop-parsing token", which may be of interest. [/edit] -
