I have a PowerShell script located at D:\temp.
When I run this script, I want the current location of the file to be listed. How do I do this?
For example, this code would accomplish it in a DOS batch file; I am trying to convert this to a PowerShell script...
FOR /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%a IN ('%0') DO SET this_cmds_dir=%%~dpa CD /d "%this_cmds_dir%"

To get the full path of the script we need to use the $myInvocation command. This is an automatic variable and it is only invoked when the script or the function is executed. $MyInvocation.
Use the Get-ChildItem cmdlet in PowerShell to get the files in the folder using the file filter and using the Select-Object cmdlet to get the full path of the file using ExpandProperty FullName.
Using command-line utilities The Windows PowerShell prompt opens by default at the root of your user folder. Change to the root of C:\ by entering cd c:\ inside the Windows PowerShell prompt.
Environment variables in PowerShell are stored as PS drive (Env: ). To retrieve all the environment variables stored in the OS you can use the below command. You can also use dir env: command to retrieve all environment variables and values.
