Automation

Hello:

I’m wondering if it’s possible to get specific user input.

I know I can write something like

$input = Read-Host "Type information” , but I want to give specific options.

Basically, I want to ask a question and give two options “yes” (script will continue) and “no” (script will stopped).

Is there a way to do it?

Thanks a lot!

You could do

$input = ""
while("yes","no" -notcontains $input){
  $input = Read-Host "Enter yes to continue, no to stop”
}

Luc,

Thank you very much for your help.

Ideally I would like to see the buttons "yes" and "no", but this option would work, too.

Thanks again for your help.

If you want to have buttons you will have to use

$Input = [http://Windows.Forms.MessageBox|http://Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Stop the script", "My script",
	[http://Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons|http://Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons]::YesNo,
	[http://Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon|http://Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon]::Question)
if($Input -eq [http://Windows.Forms.DialogResult|http://Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Yes){exit}

I attached the script since the forum SW has problems with square brackets.
