Multiple arguments for powershell command

Question

I'm having an issue with passing arguments to an executable through powershell.

The command that I pass is: .\migrator.exe migrate -d12345,12333,12222 -i09877,787896,76866

Here's where I am having an issue. The command works perfectly in CMD shell, but in powershell, it fails on the commas and will not execute the command. Do I need to be passing this into an array object or wrapping it with quotes or what?

Answer 1

If you are on PowerShell v3 or higher, you can have PowerShell pass the parameters to migrate.exe much like CMD would by using the --% operator e.g.:

.\migrator.exe migrate --% -d12345,12333,12222 -i09877,787896,76866
