[PSS2014] Ability to run a script without saving

[aaronta]

I've looked through the settings and can't seem to find the ability to do this.

It's probably one of the main things I miss after using PowerGUI, is the ability to run a PS script that you have just written, without having to save it.

Sometimes I write a script, as a once-use case, but don't need it ever again.


maybe prompt to save, but allow to run without?

A script, by definition, is a file. You have to dot source the name of the script for PowerShell to execute it.

In PowerShell there is a tremendous context difference between executing a script from a proper file and pasting that code into a shell and executing it.

Hi Aaron,

try marking the whole (unsaved) file ("CTRL" + "A") and press the "run selected code" key-combination ("CTRL" + "F8").
This does not require you to save the file.
