Commenting,writing and in .ps1 files
Example : I have a Powershell.ps1
--Start of Script---
#Test.ps1 This is will add comment
to Test powershell script
#Add
Add-PSSnapin
"Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell"
#This will write to output window
Write-Host This is Test powershell
script
#Writing in different colours
Write-Host -f Red I am Red
Write-Host -f Yellow I am Red
#This will make sure the output does
not disappear
powershell –noexit
--End of Script--
You can copy paste the script in txt
file and save it as Powershell.ps1
On running this the output should
look like this
Note : Many times the output window
disappears and we fail to read the output, add the following command to retain
the output window
powershell –noexit

Calling a function
The difference
in .Net or other techniques of calling function is that in Powershell you first
need to define the function and then you can make a call to function
Also it does not
need circular bracket to call the function just the name of function(See
example below)
--Start of Script---
#Test.ps1 This
is will add comment to Test powershell script
#Add
Add-PSSnapin
"Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell"
function
MySolution()
{
Write-Host
-f Yellow "I am in MySolution function"
#Do
something
}
#This is how you
call a function
MySolution
#This will make
sure the output does not disappear
powershell
–noexit
--End of Script--
You can copy paste the script in txt
file and save it as Powershell.ps1
On running this the output should
look like this
·
Accepting inputs and doing something
--Start of Script---
#Test.ps1 This
is will add comment to Test powershell script
param (
[string]$action = "$(Read-Host ' Please
specify the operation which you want to carry - [Add] [Retract] [Deploy]
[Remove]')"
)
#Add
Add-PSSnapin
"Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell"
function
AcceptInput()
{
if ($action -eq
"Add") {
Write-Host -f
Yellow Do something if condition matches
}
}
AcceptInput
#This will make
sure the output does not disappear
powershell
–noexit
--End of Script--

file and save it as Powershell.ps1
