@Hieronymus Thank you I hope you find them beneficial.
@Klaus Thanks for your kind words.
I think you're missing a space in there:
Answer 1: PS > c:\my`folder\myscript.ps1
produces an error on my machine. but:
PS > c:\my' folder\myscript.ps1
works fine. Need to escape the space so PoSh doesn't interpret it as a separate argument or parameter. Unless I'm missing something to make the first one work?
And then of course I make my own typo:
PS > c:\my` folder\myscript.ps1
Apostrophe is not a grave.
@Angel yes, the space disappeared, and that was the entire point of the tip :-) Thanks for the catch, and I added the space back in to the command.
