PowerShell functions that return true/false
function, powershell, return-value
Solution
Don't use True or False, instead use $true or $false
function SuccessConnectToDB {
param([string]$constr)
$successConnect = .\psql -c 'Select version();' $constr
if ($successConnect) {
return $true;
}
return $false;
}
Then call it in a nice clean way:
if (!(SuccessConnectToDB($connstr))) {
exit # "Failure Connecting"
}
Problem
I am pretty new with using PowerShell and was wondering if anyone would have any input on trying to get PowerShell functions to return values. I want to create some function that will return a value: ``` Function Something { # Do a PowerShell cmd here: if the command succeeded, return true # If not, then return false } ``` Then have a second function that will only run if the above function is true: ``` Function OnlyTrue { # Do a PowerShell cmd here... } ```
