Question:
I have a batch file that allows me to go to particular folder based on my input.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 |
d: cd d:\test\bits @ECHO off cls :start ECHO. ECHO 1. Perl ECHO 2. Python set choice= set /p choice=type in number to go to appropriate code folder: if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1% if '%choice%'=='1' goto pl if '%choice%'=='2' goto py ECHO "%choice%" is not valid, try again ECHO. goto start :pl cd code\pl goto end :py cd code\py goto end :end start "bits" |
At the end of execution, a command prompt window with the title “bits” opens up and is in the specified directory corresponding to the input choice. This is all good. But I want to have the same thing done with Powershell.
If, instead of start "bits", I put, start powershell, in the last line, I can get Powershell console to open. By doing this, I have two issues.
- Powershell console is still in
d:\test\bitsfolder and not in the one I intended it to go. - I cannot get the title to be
bits
How do I get the functionality I want with Powershell?
Answer:
From what I expected and what I was able to reproduce with your script, the current directory is set to the intended one (d:\test\bits\code\pl if I enter 1)
For the title part, you can do the following:

start powershell -NoExit -command "$Host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = 'bits'" |
