Dot sourcing a PowerShell script not ending with .ps1

Question

From a PowerShell program, I can "dot source" another PowerShell program. i.e I can execute it as if it were written inside the first one. Example: ``` Write-Host 'before' . MyOtherProgram.ps1 Write-Host 'after' ``` MyOtherProgram in 'included' inside the main program, exactly as if its content had been copy/pasted. The problem is: I can only dot source a filename finishing with `.ps1` I can't with `MyOtherProgram.lib` or `MyOtherProgram.whatever` Anyone have a method to dot source a PowerShell script not ending with `.ps1` ?

Accepted Answer

Another way would be using `Invoke-Expression`:

```
$code = Get-Content ./MyOtherProgram.lib | Out-String
Invoke-Expression $code
```
