Hi #nerds, if I run a #powershell script that takes a directory or a collection of directories as its arguments, the trailing slash in the directory name turns the following single quote into a double quote using evil Microsoft dark magic somehow.
If my script is:
```
param (
[string[]]$inDirs
)
foreach ($dir in $inDirs){
write-host $dir
}
```
and I do
```
pwsh myscript.ps1 'c:\\some\dir\'
```
The result is
```
c:\\some\dir"
```
How do I get it to unescape (or whatever it's doing) the last slash?

> NSPS capitalizes on naturally occurring high-velocity positrons in the soil. These subatomic particles are products of certain types of radioactive decay and can interact with radioactive isotopes, facilitating their breakdown. By directing positrons toward radionuclides, NSPS accelerates the decay process, reducing the time required for decontamination.
