PoshTip #44 – Open Multiple Files in PowerShell ISE

You can easily open multiple files in Powershell ISE with the following command:

PS > powershell_ise.exe "C:\script1.ps1,C:\script2.ps1"

So PowerShell will open 2 tabs in ISE:

You can also use the “ISE” Alias:

PS > Get-Alias ise

CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source
-----------     ----                                               -------    ------
Alias           ise -> powershell_ise.exe


PS > ise "C:\script1.ps1,C:\script2.ps1"
