DESCRIPTION

The Convert-Path cmdlet converts a path from a Windows PowerShell path to a Windows PowerShell provider path.

PARAMETERS

-LiteralPath

Specifies, as a string array, the path to be converted. The value of the LiteralPath parameter is used exactly as it is typed. No characters are interpreted as wildcards. If the path includes escape characters, enclose it in single quotation marks. Single quotation marks tell Windows PowerShell not to interpret any characters as escape sequences. Required? true Position? named Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-Path

Specifies the Windows PowerShell path to be converted. Required? true Position? 0 Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-UseTransaction []

Includes the command in the active transaction. This parameter is valid only when a transaction is in progress. For more information, see Includes the command in the active transaction. This parameter is valid only when a transaction is in progress. For more information, see Required? false Position? named Default value False Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).

INPUTS

System.String You can pipe a path, but not a literal path, to this cmdlet.

OUTPUTS

System.String This cmdlet returns a string that contains the converted path.

NOTES

* The cmdlets that contain the Path noun manipulate path names and return the names in a concise format that

all Windows PowerShell providers can interpret. They are designed for use in programs and scripts where you want to display all or part of a path name in a particular format. Use them like you would use Dirname, Normpath, Realpath, Join, or other path manipulators. You can use the path cmdlets with several providers, including the FileSystem, Registry, and Certificate providers. This cmdlet is designed to work with the data exposed by any provider. To list the providers available in your

session, type `Get-PSProvider`. For more information, see about_Providers.
