Calling Powershell script from batch file

Vote count:

I'm trying to run a Powershell script from a batch file. After getting help here on the ps file (thanks again to TheMadTechnician!), it runs successfully on my machine. However when I put it on the server, it throws this error:

"Missing expression after unary operator '-'. At line:1 char:2 + -E <<<< xecutionPolicy remotesigned -file 'E:\Misdemeanor Queue\Concatenate.ps1'

I've tried different combinations of the execution policy, but nothing seems to work. I have to run this on a WIndows2003 server, SP2, and it's uses v1.0 of Powershell (which is what I wrote this in). There is a space in the folder name that houses the batch file & ps1 file. Here is the batch file that calls the ps1 file named Concatenate.ps1

• @echo off &setlocal del "E:\Misdemeanor Queue\Index3.txt" set "search=.tif" set "replace=|" set "textfile=index2.txt" set "newfile=Index3.txt"

(for /f "delims=" %%i in ('findstr "^" "%textfile%"') do ( set "line=%%i" setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set "line=!line:%search%=%replace%!" echo(!line! endlocal ))>"%newfile%" type "%newfile%"

PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& 'E:\Misdemeanor Queue\Concatenate.ps1'"

Here is the concatenate.ps1 file:

• $File1 = Get-Content "E:\Misdemeanor Queue\Index3.txt" $File2 = Get-Content "E:\Misdemeanor Queue\index1.txt" $File3 = @() For($a=0;$a -lt $File1.count;$a++){ $File3+=$File1[$a].trim()+$File2[$a].trim() } $File3 | Out-File "E:\Misdemeanor Queue\indexFINAL.txt"

It's supposed to call this ps file, concatenate the Index3 file and the Index1 file, and create a txt file called indexFINAL.

Can anyone please give me some advice? I'm new to Powershell, and my boss wants this up and running asap. Thanks in advance!!
