i can not call a In-Script Function without PowerShell ISE

When i call a function in the normal Powershell i get this Error

Have in mind Mathias R. Jessen's useful comment (valid for button as well):

When you use F5 to run a script in ISE, it doesn't actually invoke the script, it executes the contents of the editor in the global scope of the attached console/runspace, so it'll persist after the first attempt.

Run your script using Dot sourcing operator .

Runs a script in the current scope so that any functions, aliases, and variables that the script creates are added to the current scope, overriding existing ones. Parameters declared by the script become variables. Parameters for which no value has been given become variables with no value. However, the automatic variable $args is preserved.

Example:

. c:\scripts\sample.ps1 1 2 -Also:3

Note. The dot sourcing operator is followed by a space. Use the space to distinguish the dot from the dot (.) symbol that represents the current directory.
