Script filename 2

How to get the script-filename inside the running script ?

Use the built-in variable $MyInvocation (more specifically $MyInvocation.ScriptName). It's not exact because the value changes each time a function or script is called. You'd have to call it fairly early in the script, or you may have to go through all of the available scopes (which PowerShell keeps track of) to get to the top scope and then read it. Information in chapter 9 of Bruce Payette's book "Windows PowerShell in Action" as well as in Microsoft's documentation.

Thanks, it works.

Script content :

# c:\scripts\test.ps1
$MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name # test.ps1
$MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition # c:\scripts\test.ps1
-------------------------------------
Running :
PowerShell.exe "& {c:\scripts\test.ps1}"

Results :
test.ps1
c:\scripts\test.ps1
