Running powershell function from .cmd file

Hi all,

I am a beginner with powershell. I created a MyPoweshell.ps1 file as follows:

MyFunction1
MyFunction2

Function MyFunction1 {

}

Function MyFunction2{

}

1) When creating a .cmd file to run the script nothing seems to work except if I typed in the cmd console: Import-Module .\MyPoweshell.ps1. But if I save that code in .cmd and double click the cmd it immediately close. How to run powershell from cmd by double click on it without closing the screen ?

2) Trying to make a clickable shortcut that shows in .cmd but nothing works. Example : C:...\Program Files\MyFolder. How to create a clickable shortcut ?

I appreciate any help. Thanks.

You are trying to call a powershell function from CMD? See whats wrong here?

To call a powershell script from CMD enter the following:

powershell -file C:\yourscript.ps1

Also you need to define the functions before you call them so in yourscript.ps1 you would need to have this

Function MyFunction1 {
   # Do Stuff
}

Function MyFunction2{
   # Do Stuff
}

MyFunction1
MyFunction2
