[SOLVED] How do I run C++ program in Powershell, just like CMD?

Issue

Like in CMD, to run a C++ program, I use the command g++ filename.cpp, then I run it using the command a.exe, which opens the output in the CMD itself. How to do such thing using a PowerShell? I am unable to open the file by simple command as a.exe. Am I doing it the wrong way?

Solution

It is a best practice to use the invocation operator and to quote the command.

& ".\a.exe" p1 p2 p3

PowerShell will also allow the use of / as the path separator.

& "./a.exe" p1 p2 p3 "p4 with space"
