I am doing some testing and not sure the best way to accomplish the desired
outcome.
I have a script with several functions. One advanced function will take a CSV
file and generate AD users. I have a sub-function to validate names:
function Validate-Name ([string]$field) {
if ($field -notmatch "[^\p{L}^\p{Pd}\s/']") {
return $false
} else {
return $true
}
}
During the Process{} block, I'd like to attempt to validate the first/last name
and bail out for just the one user and continue attempting for any subsequent
entries in the CSV file. My main question is there a best practice, or agreed
general guideline for handling this? Do you wrap everything in an If statement
before proceeding? Or do you have a Break/Return/Exit within the process block?
I thought Exit/Return/Break end the entire function, but reading up I'm not
sure if using Break to exit the Process{} block would also exit the parent
function. I'm interested in how others handle this.
I'd like to be able to break out of processing that one row, then continue
processing the CSV file:
Process {
If (Validate-Name $FirstName) {
# Log failure (TBD)
Break
}
}
Process {
If (Validate-Name $FirstName) {
# Log failure (TBD)
Exit
}
}
Process {
If (Validate-Name $FirstName) {
$failed = $true
}
If ($failed) {
# Log failure (TBD)
} Else {
#Process user Add
}
}
