How can use $args inside a where-object and invoke command i n powershell [duplicate]

Question

I have the next code, but when i use the arguments, it doesn't work like I try to find all the txt files in one drive:

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $param3 -Credential $cred -ArgumentList $param4,$param5,$param6,$param7 -ScriptBlock {$A = Get-ChildItem $args[0] -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.name -match ".*$args[1].*"} |  Format-Table Name, CreationTime, Length, FullName -auto***'

*The variable $param5 has the text ".txt"

Given that -match performs substring matching by default, you needn't surround a search term with .*, so you could just use $args[1] by itself, but the only real problem with your answer is the direct use of $args[1] inside "..." - as an expression, it must be enclosed in $(...) - ".*$($args[1]).*" - as explained in the linked post. — mklement0

Take the quotes and periods off. That would never work, even locally.

where-object { $_.name -match $args[1] } 
where name -match $args[1]

This doesn't seem to be well documented, but you can add a param section to the script block.

invoke-command c001 { param ($param1,$param2) echo $param1 $param2 } -args 1,2
