Vista Tutorial - Break is not working ?

$title = "Defrag Drive"
$message = "Select Drive letter to perform defragamention."

$cdrive = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription
"&C drive", "Analyse C:\ drive."
$ddrive = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription
"&D drive", "Analyse D:\ drive."
$quit = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription
"&Quit", "Quit this session."

$options = [System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription[]]($cdrive,
$ddrive,$quit)
$result = $host.ui.PromptForChoice($title, $message, $options, 0)

switch ($result)
{
0 {$cmdline = "cmd /c c:\windows\system32\defrag.exe c:\ -a >
c:\%computername%_defrag.txt"}
1 {$cmdline = "cmd /c c:\windows\system32\defrag.exe d:\ -a >
d:\%computername%_defrag.txt"}
2 {break}
}

$result
=====================
I select Q, and it suppose to quit session, but it did not ? Why ?

Quit meaning i wld like to quit the program.

I wld like to make the choice via the switch statement, if select q, which
is equal to 2, after break, the program did not quit.

I find it very strange. It did not work at my side. Even i put break in
every switch statement, it still does not break.

Hello IT,

It is working for me. What do you mean by 'quit session'?

Also, consider adding 'break; to each of the other switch items (unless you
want all items to be processed):

switch ($result){
0 {$cmdline = "cmd /c c:\windows\system32\defrag.exe c:\ -a > c:\%computername%_defrag.txt";
break}
1 {$cmdline = "cmd /c c:\windows\system32\defrag.exe d:\ -a > d:\%computername%_defrag.txt";
break}
2 {break}
}

Hello IT,

If you mean quit = close powershell then replace 'break' with 'exit'

....
2 {exit}
