That's not robocopy specific. xcopy.exe and echoargs.exe (part of PowerShell Community Extensions, <a href="https://pscx.codeplex.com/releases" rel="ugc">https://pscx.codeplex.com/releases</a>) exhibit the same behavior, for example.

Within powershell this works, but I need it to launch from a command/cmd startup environment:<br />
<br />
powershell -f c:\folder\create-something<wbr />.ps1 -var1 &quot;my test&quot; -var2 &quot;testing&quot; -var3 @(import-csv c:\some folder\file.csv) -endDate 6/1/2015<br />

How can I get this working?

Running powershell from cmd line with many parameters

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework.
