Powershell can be executed in a cmd window

C:\WINDOWS\system32>powershell Get-Content -path e:\test.txt

This is a test

You can ask help for sed for Windows or turn to powershell or something else.

I don't understand "going back & forth from powershell "
Calling powershell.exe is like calling any other command, with input and output parameters

I am calling my c api in windows command prompt .So after going in powershell it is not executing any command from my C api That is issue for me .
To summarize once i have invoked Powershell command from my c api it is not executing remaining command sequence which has to be executed from my api.

In creation
powershell command (Get-Content .\input\time_value) | Foreach-Object { $_ -replace 'Time stamp: ', ' ' -replace ' GMT', ' ' } | Set-Content .\input\time_upated_new_value;exit
