Take the 2-minute tour ×  Let's say I have a .ps1 with this
content (the actual content does not matter) :   # Do something
risky Remove-Item "c:\path\$someArgument.txt"  I'd like to add
to my script (or to any method in fact) a confirmation message,
that can be switch off (on by default).  .\myscript.ps1 "foo"
-Confirm:$false  How can I do that ?  share|improve this
question  1 Answer 1  up vote 3 down vote accepted  With
Advanced functions, you can use something called ShouldProcess.
At the top of your script, you can add an attribute called
[CmdletBinding]      Once you have that, in the body of your
function, you need to use an if statement  if
($pscmdlet.ShouldProcess($thingIamGoingToChange))  Take a look
at help about_advanced_functions and help
about_functions_cmdletbinding.  share|improve this answer
Thanks! I'll have to dive into the possibilities of
CmdLetBinding... guessing I can go far further with it :) –
