Powershell中的批处理setlocal模拟

Question

Imagine that we have such a batch script

@echo off
setlocal
cd C:\Users\user\Work\SomeWorkingDirectory
endlocal

So, if such script will be started, for example, from C:\\Users\\user\\ , then after script execution current directory in terminal still will be C:\\Users\\user\u003c/code> , not C:\\Users\\user\\Work\\SomeWorkingDirectory .

So, the question is: are there any setlocal / endlocal analogues in Powershell? Googled it, can't find.

Answer 1

PowerShell's scoping rules are different from those of WinBatch.

For most variables, they will only be visible within the script or function in which they are defined. Environment variables, eg, $env:Path can be modified, but the modification will only persist for the duration of the PowerShell session. For persistent changes, and more information about environment variables, see about_Environment_Variables .

For paths, as you seem to be asking, you can use the Push-Location and Pop-Location cmdlets (by default, aliased to pushd and popd , respectively).
