How to get the current file location in PowerShell
powershell
Solution
$MyInvocation
Contains an object with information about the current command, such as a script, function, or script block. You can use the information in the object, such as the path and file name of the script (`$myinvocation.mycommand.path`) or the name of a function (`$myinvocation.mycommand.name`) to identify the current command. This is particularly useful for finding the name of the script that is running. You'll get full help on automatic varible with about_Automatic_Variables :
get-help about_Automatic_Variables -full
(Edited) To get current directory you've got the CmdLet `Get-Location`
Problem
I am wondering how to get the location of the script I am running or writing. We have a set of .NET assemblies placed in the same directory as the current PowerShell script, and we want load them from the script. Right now I am using a fixed path to locate assemblies, but we want to load them from the current file location. ``` [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom ("C:\Work\Scripts\Assemblies\DynamicOps.ManagementModel.Client.dll") [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom ("C:\Work\Scripts\Assemblies\DynamicOps.Repository.dll") ```
