Powershell - Continuing script once an error has occurred
In PowerShell, you can use the try/catch
statement to handle errors and continue the script execution even if an error occurs. The catch
block allows you to specify the actions to take when an error occurs, while the script continues execution after the catch
block.
Here's an example of how you can use the try/catch
statement in PowerShell:
powershelltry {
# Code that may cause an error
# ...
}
catch {
# Error handling code
Write-Host "An error occurred: $_"
}
# Code to continue execution after the catch block
# ...
In this example, the code that may cause an error is placed within the try
block. If an error occurs within the try
block, PowerShell will jump to the catch
block. The error object ($_
) contains information about the error, which can be used for logging or further handling.
Within the catch
block, you can include the error handling code, such as displaying an error message or performing any necessary cleanup tasks. After the catch
block, the script continues executing any remaining code.
By using the try/catch
statement, you can control how your script handles errors and ensure that the script execution continues even if an error occurs.
