How to change the directory to program files using Powershell? -
i open c:\program files\r\r-3.2.0\bin\rscript.exe. trying change directory. figured error in opening program files. following code
cd program files\r\r-3.2.0\bin error: positional parameter cannot found accepts argument files
unlike command.com/cmd.exe, powershell follows more consistent rules , in failing case program
, files\r..bin
parsed 2 separate arguments, second invalid in context (as cd
accepts single non-named argument).
to fix use quotes, eg.
cd "c:\program files"
with quotes parsed string value supplied single argument (the string not include quotes, again unlike cmd.exe rules).
fwiw, cd
alias set-location. run get-help cd
details on how can used - include optional (and named) parameters does support.
