The description part of the engine selector displays if a temporary file is used or not. Does it just start the PowerShell.exe engine giving it the packaged scripts?ĭepending on the engine you pick, yes or no. " the PowerShell engine provided by Microsoft though its defined API. In the engines titled "SAPIEN PowerShell. What exactly are you calling from inside this EXE? Can't you guys do the same thing inside the EXE file? In the SAPIEN PowerShell Debugger we/you also pass the command line options as one BIG string and it also has to be properly interpreted. Aliases can also be handled, as many as the programmer wants.Īgreed.

Yes, all command line arguments are strings, they always have been.Īs you can see in the above code the programmer can, or has to, convert the 'string' to a Logical value.


Even in VBScript we had to, and still have to, have our own code for an argument to act like a switch. ALL command line parameters are strings and always were because the command line arguments are one big string from the OS to the application. (Sorry, I REALLY REALLY could not resist that one.)Ĥ. So then I ask you, who switches the switches? The next guy will ask for a default switch to turn off the automatic switch switcher and ask for a switch to just turn warnings into errors so heĬan manually switch his switches whenever he wants to switch them. Then you ask for a switch to turn off the automatic If we add an automatic switch switcher, you or someone will find a case where it switches the wrong switch. We do not switch your switches because the tool just makes an exe out of your script, it doesn't analyze your code. Rather than applying a "we know best attitude". We learned the hard way that some things are best left to the human brain for processing (Do you want EVERYONE to report such things?)Īutomatically implies always without fail and without user intervention. Why does the EXE build NOT have the ability to automatically switch the switches to your own suggested solution and inform me of the REQUIRED changes? That is why we write them and publish them.ģ. That's kind of what blogs are for nowadays The output of a command line tool really is not a place to educate users about best practices or coding examples. Why does it NOT show the best solutions to us or at least a link to the most current stuff like the LINK you sent me? It is quite hard to guess what people know or don't know, so we go by feedback. If you guys have known this all along then WHY does the builder NOT warn of ALL of these pit falls? Let me know if you can reproduce this or not.ġ. My results were the same no matter what PowerShell version I was using or what was available on the machine. Now build an EXE from PowerShell Studio and you will find that you CANNOT ever get these to "switch".

Write-Host "`n wait 3 seconds to exit."Īnd run it as a ps1 and you will see that you CAN set the parameters as desired anyway that PowerShell allows. Write-Host "`n`$information: '$information'" If a ps1 file has command line parameters that are of the type and you compile them to EXE files the options can never be activated with the EXE.
