New-Alias: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '$null'

Question

Any ideas how to get around this?

Super long string is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Answer 1

The -Value parameter shouldn't be anything more than the NAME of the thing you're aliasing.

Also, where have you defined or initialized the variable "$l"?

Answer 2

The variable variable "$l" is initialized above but I think it is not accepting -i . Let me ask around.
