Jumping around to certain spots in script

Question

Is there a way to make a script jump to a specific spot like :GOTO in command prompt? I wanted to make the script jump to the beginning when it is ended.

$tag1 =         


        

Answer 1

Here's and example using your script:

$GetInfo = {
  $tag1 = Read-Host 'Enter tag # or Q to quit'
  if ($tag1 -eq 'Q'){Return}
  cls
  sc.exe \\$tag1 start RemoteRegistry
  cls
  Start-Sleep -s 2
  cls
  systeminfo /S $tag1 | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"System Boot Time" /C:"System Up Time"
  Get-EventLog system -computername $tag1 -InstanceId 2147489657 -Newest 10 |
    ft EventID,TimeWritten,MachineName -AutoSize
  .$GetInfo
 }

&$GetInfo

Use . instead of & inside the script block to prevent it from walking up the call stack.

Putting code into script blocks to be called later from arbitrary points in the script (emulating a GoTo) is functionally the same as using a function, and script block used in this manner are sometimes referred to as "anonymous functions".
