How can I use dot sourcing to run code from a variable in the same instance?

I have a variable that stores a command that I would like to execute.

ex:

$C = "echo 'test'"

I have one way to execute this by using the following:

powershell .($C)

however this opens a new instance of powershell. How can I go about executing that code in the same instance? I can't seem to find a way to use dot sourcing without opening that second instance.

EDIT: I can not use IEX

`& ([scriptblock]::Create($C))` and `$ExecutionContext.InvokeCommand.InvokeScript($C)` almost the same as `IEX`. – Santiago Squarzon Oct 11 '22 at 03:55

Linked duplicates have in depth details as well as ways you can restrict potential arbitrary code – Santiago Squarzon Oct 11 '22 at 04:03
