    Powershell programming: strange behaviour with Test-Path & Resolve-Path?


    I have a PS script which seems to fart when testing for the existence of a certain filename. It’s the only filename it seems to have this problem on, but with all other filenames, it works as expected.Given a full pathname of the file, let’s say:Test-Path ‘\dir1\dir2\dir3\filename1.ext’Run this through either the Test-path or Resolve-Path

    Add a path to $PATH?

    Yeah, I think you're right. I think the purpose of the echo command was to check if ~/bin was in the $PATH file. My problem is that I can't decipher the output and I don't know how to add ~/bin to the $PATH file.

    Just for clarification, the snippet of instructions I gave is just a few steps in the installation process. Nothing is actually supposed to be installed with those steps.

    Thanks for the reply.
