Passing variables in Powershell

Question

I'm New to powershell I want to know how to pass a variable(with Space) using commandline.

My variable is : ZCMASS LOS A

When I execute this only ZCMASS is getting printed.I want the whole variable.

Script:

powershell -command "& "C:\scripts\tivoli\mail\ZCMASS_TEST.ps1"" ZCMASS LOS A

Can anyone help me?

PowerShell uses spaces as a separator in commands. Parameters containing spaces must normally be enclosed in quotation marks. An alternative to that is the back tic (`). In a case like this, where you are in quotation marks already, the back tic can come in handy.

Is this what you want?

powershell -command "& {'C:\scripts\tivoli\mail\ZCMASS_TEST.ps1' ZCMASS` LOS` A}"

Also, if you are trying to pass this variable to a script, instead of executing as if it were typed at the command prompt, you might be looking for the -file parameter instead of -command as in this answer.
