I'm trying to pass unparsed arguments "through" to a function call, but am having trouble getting powershell to parse them. See below code:

[CmdletBinding(PositionalBinding=$false)] 
param([Parameter(Mandatory=$false)] [Alias("m", "mixno", "mix")] [int]$script:mix = 2,               
      [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)] [Alias("c", "command")] [String]$script:command = "help",
      [Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)] [string[]]$script:otherargs)

function f1{
    param([switch]$s1)
    Write-host "Unbound Args: $($MyInvocation.UnboundArguments)"
    Write-Host "s1: $s1"
}

&"$script:command" @script:otherargs

Result:

.\argstest.ps1 -c f1 -s1

Unbound Args: -s1

s1: False

  • if you want to pass named parameters: yes. In case you want to pass positional parameters (which is tricky as you might have bound parameters as well), you might simply build an array of the unbound parameters. Commented Nov 11, 2019 at 15:41
