Equivalent of "goto" command?

olegarr · ‎05-28-2009

Hello:

I could not find if there is equivalent of "goto" command (pretty sure it should be)... Can some one point me out, please?

I want to check, if baseline with specific name exists, and if it's not then skip couple steps in my script...

Thank you

PowerShell is an object-oriented language not a procedural language, hence there is no equivalent of the goto command.

I haven't seen a situation that you can't solve without using a goto statement.

You could do for example

if (&lt;test if baseline exists&gt;){
   &lt;execute the baseline specific statements&gt;
}
&lt;continue with the rest of your script&gt;

Or even more OOP (at least in my opinion)

... | Where-Object -filter <check baselinename> | <baseline specific instructions>
