VBS variable use to execute

Question

Here's my vbs :

Myvar = "calc"
command = "powershell.exe -nologo -command Myvar"
set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.Run command,0

It does not work. calc is not executed.

Later, i will substitue calc by a ps1 file with spaces. Can you help me? Thanks.

"... Myvar" is just a quoted string, there is no substitution of the variable's value.

You need to concatenate the variable, to append the value from the variable, using the concatenation operator &:

command = "powershell.exe -nologo -command " & Myvar
