PowerShell running functions from .ps1 with multiple parameters












1















I'm trying to run a function that is located within a .ps1 file. The function accepts two parameters that could be either a string or int. Here is my code:



Filename: SetFarmProp.ps1



Function SetFarm ($property_name, $property_value) `
{
$farm = Get-SPFarm

$farm.Properties.Add($property_name, $property_value)

$farm.properties
}


When I go into my PowerShell session and type in



.SetFarmProp.ps1
SetFarm "testkey" "testvalue1"


I get an error saying that the "SetFarm" is not a recognized name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

          Try dot sourcing:



          . .SetFarmProp.ps1
          SetFarm "testkey" "testvalue1"


          Or just:



          .SetFarmProp.ps1 "testkey" "testvalue1"


          If you modify your .ps1 file as:



          param ($property_name, $property_value)
          {
          $farm = Get-SPFarm

          $farm.Properties.Add($property_name, $property_value)

          $farm.properties
          }
