Hi,
This is the code in powershell that can be used as function where you want to repeat the tasks or present user with some kind of choice.
# Clear screen to clear the trash off the screen
clear-host
# Using here string to display Menu
$menu = @"
Menu
--------------------
Select your options
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
0 : Press 0 to Exit
"@
write-host $menu
Function Pause ($Message = "Press any* key to continue . . .Well I don't mean all :) ") {
If ($psISE) {
# The "ReadKey" functionality is not supported in Windows PowerShell ISE.
$Shell = New-Object -ComObject "WScript.Shell"
$Button = $Shell.Popup("Click OK to continue.", 0, "Script Paused", 0)
Return
}
Write-Host -NoNewline $Message
# Secret codes :) you don't want to continue when press shift key alt etc etc
$Ignore =
16, # Shift (left or right)
17, # Ctrl (left or right)
18, # Alt (left or right)
20, # Caps lock
91, # Windows key (left)
92, # Windows key (right)
93, # Menu key
144, # Num lock
145, # Scroll lock
166, # Back
167, # Forward
168, # Refresh
169, # Stop
170, # Search
171, # Favorites
172, # Start/Home
173, # Mute
174, # Volume Down
175, # Volume Up
176, # Next Track
177, # Previous Track
178, # Stop Media
179, # Play
180, # Mail

183 # Application 2
While ($KeyInfo.VirtualKeyCode -Eq $Null -Or $Ignore -Contains $KeyInfo.VirtualKeyCode) {
$KeyInfo = $Host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho, IncludeKeyDown")
}
Write-Host
}
# using do while loop to do switch case annoyance
do {
if($a)
{
clear-variable a
}
$a = read-host "Select your option"
switch ($a)
{
1 {write-host -ForegroundColor RED "The color is red."; Pause;}
2 {write-host -ForegroundColor DARKBLUE "The color is blue."; Pause;}
3 {write-host -ForegroundColor GREEN "The color is green."; Pause;}
4 {write-host -ForegroundColor YELLOW "The color is yellow."; Pause;}
5 {write-host -ForegroundColor DarkYellow "The color is orange."; Pause;}
6 {write-host -ForegroundColor Magenta "The color is purple."; Pause;}
7 {write-host -ForegroundColor Cyan "The color is pink."; Pause;}
8 {write-host -ForegroundColor Gray "The color is brown."; Pause;}
0 {write-host "Exiting..."; Exit;}
default {"The color could not be determined."; Pause;}
}
}
while(!($a -eq 'null'))
Hope this will be helpfully in some ways.
