How to run a Powershell script from SAS?

Question

I have a code which opens powershell but does not run the script. How do I run the script? Any help appreciated.

x 'C:\Windows\syswow64\Windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe' -filename "L:\Work\SAS Data\.local2remote1.ps1" ;

maybe -file instead of -filename x 'C:\Windows\syswow64\Windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe' -file "L:\Work\SAS Data\.local2remote1.ps1" ; — Maximilian Etti

The trick is to find the code required from command line or RUN window and use that. Appears to be 'X "powershell path_to_ps file"'; — Reeza

Note that ideally you have no spaces in path but can get around that if you have to. — Reeza

x 'powershell -file "L:\Work\SAS Data\local2remote1.ps1"';
