Powershell error - Unexpected token error

Question

I am getting an error while executing the below. Is the below method to concatenate $env:userprofile with path correct?

$env:userprofile\Documents\DNS\GetDnsRecord.ps1 | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation | Select-Object -Skip 1 | Out-File -Append $env:userprofile\Documents\DNS\DnsRecord.csv

Error:

 + $env:userprofile\Documents\DNS\GetDnsRecord.ps1 | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTy ...
 +                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unexpected token '\Documents\DNS\GetDnsRecord.ps1' in expression or statement.

Thanks for the help

Concatenating paths like that only works in argument-mode - prepend the entire thing with the call operator & and it'll work: & $env:userprofile\Documents\DNS\GetDnsRecord.ps1 | ... — Mathias R. Jessen

Join-Path $env:userprofile '\Documents\DNS\GetDnsRecord.ps1'
