Return empty string

See original GitHub issue

I have a question and maybe you can help.

I’m trying to remotely get the PowerShell version on the host, if i run the command locally in powershell it works. But if i run it remotely using pypsrp, I get an empty string. Any idea why ?

Locally : (Get-ItemProperty ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\3\PowerShellEngine’).PowerShellVersion Returns : 5.1.14393.0

In Python : ps.add_script("(Get-ItemProperty ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\3\PowerShellEngine’).PowerShellVersion") print(ps.invoke[0])` Returns : “”

If i get the windows version instead of PowerShellVersion (different reg path) it works.

Works like a charm adding “r” in front of all strings… Thx again

It’s because of the \3 in the path, you can see in the error it became � (your console might show something else) meaning it’s an invalid char. Other characters can do the same thing and it also depends on whether they are capitalised or not. The best way to avoid this IMO is to just have your start be an r-string like r"my script" as you don’t need to escape the backslashes.
