Is it possible to pass a variable into a piped powershell script?

Question

I'm basing a small project off of the below one-liner, but I'm struggling to pass parameters into it on the same line.

irm get.scoop.sh | iex

This script can take additional parameters, such as -ScoopDir.

How does one pass -ScoopDir C:\foo\bar into the one-liner?

Answer 1

It can't be done with Invoke-Expression, however you can do it by converting the expression into a script block first then you can pass arguments as if it was a function.

Do note:

This still applies for the [scriptblock]::Create(...) approach.

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm get.scoop.sh))) -ScoopDir C:\foo\bar
