For example, i want to run cygwin.bat which is located in the c:/cygwin/ directory...
I tried the following but got an error:
cd c:/cygwin ./cygwin.bat

thank you, i m aware that it can be done in two lines seperately, i was just wondering if and how it can be run on a single line ... I am starting to learn powershell btw so thats the shell im using.icedplanet– icedplanet2013-09-17 19:48:41 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2013 at 19:48

See my answer, I expanded it from my comment with an example for the behavior you're interested in.Anthony Neace– Anthony Neace2013-09-17 19:49:44 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2013 at 19:49

cd c:/cygwin and ./cygwin.bat are two different statements. You can execute them from the interactive console like so:
PS C:\> cd c:/cygwin
PS C:\cygwin> ./cygwin.bat
Or, if you really want to do it on the same line, then use a ; between them to indicate separate statements.
cd c:/cygwin ; ./cygwin.bat

best way is the way its always been
c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat
it's all you need to type

Try iex
$command = "cd c:/cywin"

thanks for the answer , but i actually want to run cygwin.bat in the cygwin folder... your command only seems to redirect me from my home path to the cygwin path just like using : cd c:/cygwin
