    Hi guys,

    Sorry if this was answered before (couldn't find it any)

    For some reason after I powershell.addscript, my addparameter doesn't seem to be working:

    #hello.ps1
param(
    [string]$thingToWrite
)

$helloLog = [System.IO.StreamWriter]"c:\files\hellolog.txt"
$helloLog.WriteLine( $thingToWrite)
$helloLog.Close()


    #run-hello.ps1
$p = [Powershell]::Create()
$p.AddScript("C:\files\hello.ps1")
$p.AddParameter("thingToWrite","write this")
$p.Invoke()

    My parameter is always blank. I've tried different approaches and searched various forums, but can't seem to figure it out yet. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated!!

    Never mind, I am an idiot - using AddCommand instead of AddScript got things going

    The command adds a script. You are adding a string that is a filename.

    $p = [Powershell]::Create()
$p.AddScript({
		param (
			[string]$thingToWrite
		)
		
		$helloLog = [System.IO.StreamWriter]"c:\files\hellolog.txt"
		$helloLog.WriteLine($thingToWrite)
		$helloLog.Close()
})
$p.AddParameter("thingToWrite", "write this")
$p.Invoke()
