I think I have seen a few CLI tools that put the input between an open and close arg like this "-arg1 random passthrough string -arg1-"

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

Now say the CLI tool is passed a string that has "-arg1-" inside it.

I had to do this yesterday. First I tried ". Then \", finally \" worked. Which doesn't make sense. But I'm not looking for answers, I've got more Jira tickets this sprint.

Run a PowerShell script from batch, but call it using start-process as administrator, using a variable for the path and also pass parameters to the script.
