How can i get the file system location of a powershell script?

Question

I have a powershell script located at d:\temp

When I run this script, I want the current location of the file to be listed. How do I do this ?

For example this code would accomplish it in a dos batch file; I am trying to convert this to a powershell script..

FOR /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%a IN ('%0') DO SET this_cmds_dir=%%~dpa
CD /d "%this_cmds_dir%"

Answer 1

Get-Location?

Answer 2

The path of a running scripts is:

$MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path

Its directory is:

$PSScriptRoot = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path -Parent

Answer 3

Roman Kuzmin answered the question imho. I'll just add that if you import a module (via Import-Module), you can access $PsScriptRoot automatic variable inside the module -- that will tell you where the module is located.
