How can I pipe to a PowerShell script residing in a path with spaces? [duplicate]

Question

I wrote a PowerShell script that's accepting input from the pipeline plus some parameters.

Now, when I want to call the script from another directory, the following doesn't work:

Get-ChildItem | 'D:\My Documents\PowerShell\My-Script.ps1' -MyParam 1 -OtherParam 'Test'

How do I call a PowerShell script residing at a path having spaces from another directory with parameters and pipeline input?

Use the call operator | & 'D:\My Documents\PowerShell\.... — Santiago Squarzon

In short: An executable path that is quoted or contains variable references must - for syntactic reasons - be invoked with &, the call operator; see the linked duplicate for details. — mklement0

Solution and reasoning of the other issue might be the same, but the question is completely different. I'm pretty sure that no-one searching for a question like mine will ever find the other answer. Please reopen. — AxD

OtherParam 'Test'
