Hi Guys,

If someone cancels the Powershell Script while running ex by presssing Ctrl + C. Is there a way that we can get that captured and display it in the console? I want to log that user cancelled the script so that i get to know that script is cancelled not completed.

Have you tried using the `$LASTEXITCODE` variable? It will contain the exit code of the last .exe that was invoked. Take a look hier: [ErrorLevel equivalent - PowerShell Team](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/errorlevel-equivalent/)
