Missing ')' in method call - Exporting Certs using variable.

running powershell command prompt, success.

dir cert:\currentuser\my | where-object { $_.hasprivatekey -and $_.privatekey.cspkeycontainerinfo.exportable } | foreach-object { [system.io.file]::writeallbytes( "c:\ certs\$($_.thumbprint).pfx" , ($_.export('pfx', 'secret')) ) }

running regular command prompt, failure.

powershell -command dir cert:\currentuser\my "| where-object { $_.hasprivatekey -and $_.privatekey.cspkeycontainerinfo.exportable } | foreach-object { [system.io.file]::writeallbytes( "c:\ certs\$($_.thumbprint).pfx" , ($_.export('pfx', 'secret')) ) }"

which returns following:

missing ')' in method call.

at line:1 char:164

+ dir cert:\currentuser\my | where-object { $_.hasprivatekey -and $_.privatekey

.cspkeycontainerinfo.exportable } | foreach-object { [system.io.file]::writeall

bytes(  <<<< c:\ certs\$($_.thumbprint).pfx , ($_.export('

pfx', 'secret')) ) }

    + categoryinfo          : parsererror: (closeparentoken:tokenid) [], paren

   tcontainserrorrecordexception

    + fullyqualifiederrorid : missingendparenthesisinmethodcall

what missing allow script work within powershell, not regular command prompt?  need run way because executionpolicy set restricted , cannot changed.

hi,

pls try this:

powershell -command "dir cert:\currentuser\my | where-object { $_.hasprivatekey -and $_.privatekey.cspkeycontainerinfo.exportable } | foreach-object { [system.io.file]::writeallbytes( ('c:\certs\'+$_.thumbprint+'.pfx') , ($_.export('pfx', 'secret')) ) }"
