Help: Run PowerShell Command in API

ngdnam88 — Mon, 26 Dec 2022 06:36:22 GMT

Dears,

I have this PowerShell command. Please help me how to input to VS.

(Get-Content "D:\Settings.ini") | ForEach-Object { $_ -replace 'OPENAFTEREXPORT=false','OPENAFTEREXPORT=true' } | Set-Content "C:\Settings.ini"

I'm trying with this way:

Put above command line to .ps1 file then open it with these code:

Script = "R:\Testing.ps1" Shell("PowerShell.exe " & """" & Script & """", vbNormalFocus)

Script = "R:\Testing.ps1" Process.Start("PowerShell.exe", Script)

Thank you very much!

I converted this code from this site to VB.net maybe it is some help to you:

Dim ps1File = "C:\my script folder\script.ps1" Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo() startInfo.FileName = "powershell.exe" startInfo.Arguments = String.Format("-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted ""{0}""", ps1File) Process.Start(startInfo)

I just tested that it starts Powershell. Not sure if it will run your script correctly.
