Exit a PowerShell function but continue the script [duplicate]
As was mentioned, Foreach-object is a function of its own. Use regular foreach
Function Get-Foo {[CmdLetBinding()]Param ()$a = 1..6 foreach($b in $a){ Write-Verbose $b if ($b -eq 3) { Write-Output 'We found it' break } elseif ($b -eq 5) { Write-Output 'We found it' } }}Get-Foo -VerboseWrite-Output 'The script continues here'
The scriptblock you are passing to ForEach-Object is a function in its own right. A return in that script block just returns from the current iteration of the scriptblock.
You'll need a flag to tell future iterations to return immediately. Something like:
$done = $false;1..6 | ForEach-Object { if ($done) { return; } if (condition) { # We're done! $done = $true; }}Rather than this, you may be better using a Where-Object to filter the pipeline objects to only those that you need to process.
