Using Switch With PowerShell

RGT1

I'm launching Switch within a Microsoft PowerShell script. When the script launches Switch with the parameters passed to it, it runs fine.

However; the script continues to the next line of code.

How do I make the script wait until Switch has completed its process before continuing to the next line of code in the PowerShell script?

Which command lines are you using exactly could you confirm the exact steps? You may also send a support ticket for this incase it needs clarification from the devs https://www.nch.com.au/support/supportcontact.html

you can try adding the -wait option at the end of the command

see below for a example

Start-Process -FilePath "c:\temp\example.bat" -Wait

Thanks! Looks like I did the hard way. I forgot about Start-Process.

& $exe -hide -outfolder $TargetFolder -convert $SourceFile -format $Format -settings $Settings -overwrite ALWAYS

   do {
        $Switch = Get-Process | Where-Object {$_.ProcessName -eq "switch"}

        $counter = 0

        foreach ($item in $Switch) {
            if ($_.CPU -gt 0) {
                $counter += 1
            }
        }
    } until ($counter -eq 0)

if it works, it works,

another way is just to tell it to pause for x amount of time before starting the next process.
