Question

I want to exit from inside a try block:

function myfunc
{
   try {
      # Some things
      if(condition) { 'I want to go to the end of the function' }
      # Some other things
   }
   catch {
      'Whoop!'
   }

   # Other statements here
   return $whatever
}

I tested with a break, but this doesn’t work. It breaks the upper loop if any calling code is inside a loop.

An extra scriptblock around try/catch and the return in it may do this:

function myfunc($condition)
{
    # Extra script block, use `return` to exit from it
    .{
        try {
            'some things'
            if($condition) { return }
            'some other things'
        }
        catch {
            'Whoop!'
        }
    }
    'End of try/catch'
}

# It gets 'some other things' done
myfunc

# It skips 'some other things'
myfunc $true
