Trying to use Invoke-Vmscript and use @' '@ to create the string but it will not take  it and give the error of "No character" 

but if I use " ", it works correctly, can someone shed some light on why is that?

Thanks gurus

My crystal bol is out of service at the moment, can you show us some code to help us understand what you mean?

If I do the following , the invoke-vmscript works fine

$code= "
add-localgroupMember -Group 'administrators' -Member 'SG'

"

but if I do with single quote or double quote 

$code=@'
add-localgroupMember -Group 'administrators' -Member 'SG'

'@

I get the following error

"No characters are allowed after a here-string header but before the end of the line"

That 1st snippet is a regular string.
The 2nd snippet is a here-string, which can be done with single or double quotes.

Your here-string works perfectly for me.
Are you sure there are no (hidden) characters after @' ?

hidden characters?, there is nothing I see plain eye.

Thanks

bad format but with @'
test
'@  the red ">" still there

Ah, but that is different, you can't have anything on that line after @'

When you do that at the PS prompt, hit <enter> after @'
