Windows Command TYPE Keywords in Quotes

Question

I'm trying to pass the TYPE keyword in the Windows command line to read a file and output its contents in a parameter.

I want to read the contents of 'state-machine.json' into my string... with bash I know I can use:

aws stepfunctions --endpoint http://localhost:8083 create-state-machine --definition "$(cat ./step-function/state-machine.json)"

However I can't figure out the Windows equivalent:

aws stepfunctions --endpoint http://localhost:8083 create-state-machine --definition  "@(type ./step-function/state-machine.json)"

Answer 1

Is "@(type ./step-function/state-machine.json)" supposed to be a powershell command?

$StateMachine=gc "path-to\state-machine.json"

aws stepfunctions --endpoint http://localhost:8083 create-state-machine --definition  "@("$StateMachine")"

Answer 2

使用以下解决了我的问题：

create-state-machine --definition file://step-function/state-machine.json
