Simple command failing from command prompt

Question

Hi All.
I need to run a command from the command prompt, as seen below. For some reason, it seems to ba failing to recongnise some of the powershell scripts. I am not sure what is happening.
if (test-path 'D:\logs\jobs') { Get-ChildItem "D:\logs\jobs" -Recurse -Include *.out, *.txt | Where-Object{($_.LastWriteTime -le (Get-Date).Addminutes(-1))} | select $_.Name }
If one however stripped off all the code after |, it seems to work from DOS.
Any insight into the behaviour ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi MrFlinstone,
As Mike suggested, we can use the -command parameter in powershell.exe, please refer to the cmd below:
powershell.exe -command "& {get-service | Select Name}"
