howto pass procesname parameter to powershell form vbs script - powershell

Question

If have created a VBS script that watches for new created processes like notepad.exe or calc.exe. When a new notepad or calc proces is found i like to do something in powershell with the found procesname.
The VBS script i created works fine when I manually edit the procesname in the VBS file, but when i try to use/pass the procesname form vbs (strName) to powershell I expect to see the procesname (notepad.exe), but instead the powershell window shows "strName".
I've been all over the internet to find a solution, without result.
My VBS file [start.vbs]

arrProcesses = Array("calc.exe","notepad.exe")
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
i = 0
Set colMonitoredProcesses = objWMIService. ExecNotificationQuery _
("Select * From __InstanceCreationEvent Within 5 Where TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Process'")
Do While i = 0
Set objLatestProcess = colMonitoredProcesses.NextEvent
strProcess = LCase(objLatestProcess.TargetInstance.Name)
For Each strName in arrProcesses
If strName = strProcess Then

End If

foreach ($key in $PSBoundParameters.keys) {

Anyone any ideas?

Answer 1

Change:
WshShell.Run("Powershell.exe -file .\GetParamFromVBS.ps1 ""strName"" ")
To:
WshShell.Run("Powershell.exe -file .\GetParamFromVBS.ps1 '" & strName & "'")

Variables aren't string literals.
So something like this
a = "a string literal" & aVariableContainingAString
