Unable to call script function from command line

Question

I am trying to call a function in a PowerShell script in the same directory. However, when I call it, I get this error:

The term 'functionName' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script...

Any idea why this occurs? I also tried dot loading the script first like this before calling the function:

.\Script.psm1

PSM1? Is your function in a module? Do you need to run Import-Module first? — Dave Sexton

.\Script.psm1 would run the script (script module, actually) in a child context. To be able to use functions from it in the current context you need to run/load it in the current context. That can be done via dot-sourcing for regular scripts, or via Import-Module (for modules).
