The command Invoke-Item -Path ${path\to\file}
is a PowerShell command used to open or run a file using its specified path.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
Invoke-Item
: This is a PowerShell cmdlet used to invoke (or run) an item. An item can be a file, folder, or any other object that can be executed or opened by the operating system. -
-Path
: This is a parameter that specifies the path of the item you want to invoke. In this case,${path\to\file}
is the placeholder or variable representing the actual path to the file you want to open or run. You need to replace${path\to\file}
with the actual file path.
To use this command, you should replace ${path\to\file}
with the actual file path. For example, if you want to open a file named "document.txt" located in the directory "C:\Files\", the command would look like this:
Invoke-Item -Path 'C:\Files\document.txt'
By executing this command, the operating system will attempt to open the specified file using the default associated program for that file type, such as opening a .txt file with Notepad.
