Lol,

Ok, an example (stupid, but an example)...

Function Test_Time {
    $a = Get-Date
    If ($a.Minute -gt 30) { Return 1 } 
    Else { Return 0 }
    }

If (Test_Time) { Write-Host 'gt 30...' }
Else { Write-Host 'lt 30...' }


This works only by fluke as the only output is the return.
What if the function necessarily generates loads of output?


Function Test_Time {
    $a = Get-Date
    Get-Alias
    If ($a.Minute -gt 30) { Return 1 } 
    Else { Return 0 }
    }

If (Test_Time) { Write-Host 'gt 30...' }
Else { Write-Host 'lt 30...' }


This always evals to true as a result of the slew of output that
gets written out. So how do you deal with this? I know I can hide
the output of that Get-Alias, but what if you can't avoid some output?

Thanks!
