如何在配置文件中定义的 PowerShell 脚本中设置环境变量？

Question

I have a simple preferences system in batch. The bat renames the.ini to a.bat and call it. The variables or options that in the.ini will be initialized in that way. So I can use it to create a multilingual batch file. Now I started learning PowerShell. I want to have the same function.

My files:

MyFile.bat - initialize the ini and make some other stuff...:

ren User-Generated\preferences.ini preferences.bat
call User-Generated\preferences.bat
ren User-Generated\preferences.bat preferences.ini
echo Your language is %locale%.
...

And here we have the preferences.ini - in her, there saved all options eg. language:

set locale=de
set cancelled=true
set firstrun=false

Now I can create the same preferences.ini for PowerShell:

$locale="de"
$cancelled="true"
$firstrun="false"

My question:

I need to call the ini with a PowerShell script. How to do that?

@mofi wrote, that we could it make with this for loop either:

for /F "usebackq delims=" %%I in ("%~dp0User-Generated\preferences.ini") do set "%%I"

But how to "convert" it to PowerShell?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You define some environment variables by using set . You could do the same in PowerShell by using the $env .

$env:locale="de"
$env:cancelled="true"
$env:firstrun="false"

To call your bat script, you could use the call operator .

& 'cmd.exe' @('/c', 'call', 'LoadPreferences.bat')
