Pass a Variable from a Powershell Script to SQLPlus - sql

Question

I'm trying to pass a variable from my Powershell Script to SQLPlus.
I've defined my variable as $csvStorage (the file path to the folder "csv_files"):
Powershell Script:
# Set file path to C:\xxxx\xxxx\xxxx\xxxx\csv_files
$filePath = Split-Path -Path $directory -Parent
$csvStorage = Join-Path $filePath -ChildPath "csv_files"
I have then passed it as an argument to the SQL script:
Powershell Script:
# Run sql_queries.sql whilst passing C:\xxxx\xxxx\xxxx\xxxx\csv_files\ into the SQL script
$queryTables = "/c sqlplus $dbUsername/$dbPassword#$dbServiceName #$filePath $csvStorage"
&$sqlPlus $queryTables
Then finally, referenced the variable in my SQL using '&1':
SQL Script:
set null null
set heading on
set pagesize 50000
set termout on
spool &1\hc_actual_vs_shadow_inv.csv
SELECT *
FROM hc_actual_vs_shadow_inv
/
spool off
/
exit
However, the query is not being executed and no .csv file is outputted. But I can't see what I'm doing wrong. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks
