Loop Not Working Correctly

PowerShell Help
1

Im trying to understand why my loops are not working properly. Its supposed to execute the block of code (each function I created), then ask if the settings are correct or not and if they are not, its supposed to ask which setting I need to change, let me change it then ask for confirmation again. Allow me to keep changing things until I say “y” im done, then take the variables from each one to execute the next section of code.

It works all the way up until it asks me what changes I want to make, then once I make the first one, it automatically loops the question about which change I want to make instead of confirming if im done making changes.

Write-Host "Creating VPN Connection Now!"

This code works great when asking for new input, but when I try to take those variables and use them in the next line of code, they dont actually work.

Here is the full code (Edited with yours( After “Creating VPN Connection Now!”, code does not create VPN)):

Also, every output displayed on the screen is also showing a square box and “n” all the way to the left. It acts as if its trying to execute the “Write-Host `n” command but not actually doing it correctly.

I was looking at your looping issue and not what you were trying to do with the data.

Variables in functions cease to exist once the function is done running. So your values never get passed back to the main script block.

  1. Add a Write-Output in each function: Write-Output $vName
  2. Put the result of each function into a variable in the main script when you call the function: $vName = vpnName

That should get the variables back into your main script block for use in the Add-VPNConnection cmdlet and other code.

Sorry I know im being a pain in the Arse,

When I added the necessary changes it results in:

vpnName : The term ‘vpnName’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path
is correct and try again.
At C:\Users\Dennis\Documents\VPN_Project\VPN_Creation - Copy.ps1:12 char:10

  • $vName = vpnName
  •      ~~~~~~~
    • CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (vpnName:String) , CommandNotFoundException
    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

vpnAddress : The term ‘vpnAddress’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script
file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that
the path is correct and try again.
At C:\Users\Dennis\Documents\VPN_Project\VPN_Creation - Copy.ps1:13 char:12

  • $vServer = vpnAddress
  •        ~~~~~~~~~~
    • CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (vpnAddress:String) , CommandNotFoundException
    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

vpnUser : The term ‘vpnUser’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path
is correct and try again.
At C:\Users\Dennis\Documents\VPN_Project\VPN_Creation - Copy.ps1:14 char:10

  • $vUser = vpnUser
  •      ~~~~~~~
    • CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (vpnUser:String) , CommandNotFoundException
    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

And even when it gets passed the first part and asks the questions, it still doesnt deliver the variable outputs to the code below it to actually create the vpn connection itself

Heres the code:

$vName = vpnName
$vServer = vpnAddress
$vUser = vpnUser
$vPassword = vpnPassword
$vSecret = vnpSecret

Am I suppose to add a pipe to each function? Like $vName = ReadHost | WriteOutput $vName

Update** I learned piping doesnt work with read-host

Okay,

I learned from my mistakes and was able to correct it. I had to set global variables and call those variables in the functions for them to change in the switch statement.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! :slight_smile:
