I have a very powershell script that works perfectly and does:
Param(
[string]$fileName
)
echo "Woo I opened $fileName"
When I run it on the command line, it works:
my-script.ps1 .\somefile
Returns:
Woo I opened somefile
I would like to associate my-script.ps1
with a particular file type. I am attempting to do this via 'Open With' However:
How can I associate a file type with a Powershell script?
Use the proper tools for the job:
cmd /c assoc .fob=foobarfile
cmd /c ftype foobarfile=powershell.exe -File `"C:\path\to\your.ps1`" `"%1`"
Note that both assoc
and ftype
are CMD-builtins, so you need to run them via cmd /c
from PowerShell.
For files without extension use this association:
cmd /c assoc .=foobarfile
