Thanks for your information. I will take a look at the links.

You can use “throw” to generate an exception and this will get you from the whole thing. The tricky part is that this will by default terminate the whole script – not just the function. This might or might not be what you need.

If this is not what you need, and you do need to proceed from some place – you need to catch the exception there.

Unfortunately, catching that exception so the script does not terminate at all is not that easy in PowerShell v1. In v2, it is as easy as enclosing the original function call in try/catch.

If you need more information, I would as in the forums at http://powergui.org

function find-file( $startfolder, $nameoffile )
{
foreach ( $_ in get-childitem $startfolder ) {
if( $_ -match $nameoffile )
{
Write-Host “Found the file, assigning the file path to a variable…”
$FilePath = $_.FullName
break
} else {
if( $_.PsIsContainer )
{
find-file $_.FullName $nameoffile
}
}
}
}
