i found weird behavior of break in nested loops. here test-code: #1 :outerloop foreach ($x in 1..3) { 'x' + $x :innerloop foreach ($y in 1..8) { ' y' + $y if ($y -ge 5) { break innerloop } } } #2 :outerloop foreach ($x in 1..3) { 'x' + $x :innerloop foreach ($y in 1..8) { ' y' + $y if ($y -ge 5) { break noloop } } } #1 breaks inner loop expected. #2 breaks outer loop though specified not-existing label "noloop" break. expect error or warning. @ worst expect non-existing label ignored and the outer loop breaks. does see logic behind behavior? thanks. posted it @ uservoice: http://windowsserver.uservoice.com/forums/301869-powershell you invited vote there. sorry. direct link here: http://windowsserver.uservoice.com/forums/301869-powershell/suggestions/11531280-break-in-nested-loops-behaves-weird
