Instructions

Executing

To run this script you can load the external file and call the exec method.

def powershell = load 'powershell.groovy'
powershell.exec('ls')

To debug, you can use

def powershell = load 'powershell.groovy'
powershell.exec('ls', debug: true)

To pass double quotes (") to the method you must change (") to (\")
