Two PowerShell commands together?

Question

How can I execute two PowerShell commands such that I only send text to the prompt once and the second command executes only after the first command has executed successfully?

Answer 1

Try this:

[command1] ; if ($Lastexitcode -eq 0) { [command2] }

This executes command1 and then command2 if $Lastexitcode equals 0. If command1 produces an error, it should throw that error and stop executing anyway (if it is a powershell command - if not, it depends).

Is this what you were looking for?
