Why am I getting a “not a cmdlet” error from inside a here-string?
Question
Below is an extract of my html code, defined as $html in my Powershell script:
$html = @"

When I run this as an html file, it runs perfectly normal and the script is running as expected. However, if I parse this via PS it comes up with an error:
document : The term 'document' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:46 char:6 + $( document ).ready(function() { // 6,32 5,38 2,34 + ~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (document:String) [], CommandNot FoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
I have tried changing "$( document )" to "$("document"), adding in quotations, which seems to work, but when you look at the html file on output, it removes the "$(" and ")", so it effectively disables the script from enabling due to incorrect syntax.
Is it because it is seeing the dollar sign as a PS variable? How do I go around this?
Thanks

The problem line, as you know, has this
$( document )
That is syntax for PowerShell subexpressions $() . PowerShell is telling you that "document" is not a command. Use backticks to escape that "$" in PowerShell so it wont treat it special
`$( document )
You have a similar issue with the following line that might not be as obvious
$("#test-circle").circliful({
looks like this in your here string once processed
#test-circle.circliful({
You need to escape that dollar sign as well.
You could have just used a herestring with single quotes ( @' '@ ) and that would have avoided this issue. However since you are variable substitution you cannot go that route without more changes.
