The “$_” is said to be the pipeline variable in PowerShell. The “$_” variable is an alias to PowerShell's automatic variable named “$PSItem“. It has multiple use cases such as filtering an item or referring to any specific object.
$_ is a variable created by the system usually inside block expressions that are referenced by cmdlets that are used with pipe such as Where-Object and ForEach-Object . But it can be used also in other types of expressions, for example with Select-Object combined with expression properties.
The Windows PATH environment variable is where applications look for executables -- meaning it can make or break a system or utility installation. Admins can use PowerShell to manage the PATH variable -- a process that entails string manipulation. To access the PATH variable, use: $env:Path.
Subexpression operator $( ) For a single result, returns a scalar. For multiple results, returns an array. Use this when you want to use an expression within another expression. For example, to embed the results of command in a string expression. PowerShell Copy.
I'm assuming since you convert the powershell script to an executable that you are after the location of the executable. You can get it this way:
[Environment]::GetCommandLineArgs()[0]
