PowerShell running functions from .ps1 with multiple parameters
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.
function powershell parameters call

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
}
thank you! works fine now, appreciate the help
