Difference numbat.dev and numbat -e in powershell

[vbd]

• numbat 1.16.0
• Windows 11
• powershell 7.5.0

I think it's because of my skills.

numbat.dev (works for me!)
time("14:00")-time("12:30")->min

powershell (does not work)
numbat -e "time(\"14:00\")-time(\"12:30\")->min"

returns:
Could not load source file '14:00\)-time(\12:30\) -> min': Die Syntax für den Dateinamen, Verzeichnisnamen oder die Datenträgerbezeichnung ist falsch. (os error 123

I tried to "translate" the expression of the website to an expression which will be run in cli/powershell. What have I done wrong?

This is very likely a problem with escaping the quotation marks in your terminal. Powershell 7.5 uses the backtick to escape, so replacing \" with `" should work. Alternatively you can use single quote ' to surround your calculations in which case you don't need to escape the double quotes at all.

Thank you very much.

numbat -e 'time("14:00")-time("12:30")->min'

Is what I'm looking for.

The thing with the backtick should have occurred to me because I am in the process of changing some awk one-liners and I already had the problem there. Escaping is always \ for me.
