NAME Remove-PSBreakpoint



SYNOPSIS

Deletes breakpoints from the current console.





SYNTAX

Remove-PSBreakpoint [-Breakpoint] <Breakpoint[]> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]



Remove-PSBreakpoint [-Id] <Int32[]> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Remove-PSBreakpoint cmdlet deletes a breakpoint. Enter a breakpoint object or a breakpoint ID.



When you remove a breakpoint, the breakpoint object is no longer available or functional. If you have saved a breakpoint object in a variable, the

reference still exists, but the breakpoint does not function. Remove-PSBreakpoint is one of several cmdlets designed for debugging Windows

PowerShell scripts. For more information about the Windows PowerShell debugger, see about_Debuggers.





PARAMETERS

-Breakpoint <Breakpoint[]>

Specifies the breakpoints to delete. Enter a variable that contains breakpoint objects or a command that gets breakpoint objects, such as a

Get-PSBreakpoint command. You can also pipe breakpoint objects to Remove-PSBreakpoint .

about_CommonParameters (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).

NOTES









Example 1: Remove all breakpoints



PS C:\\>Get-PSBreakpoint | Remove-PSBreakpoint



This command deletes all of the breakpoints in the current console.

Example 2: Remove a specified breakpoint



PS C:\\>$B = Set-PSBreakpoint -Script "sample.ps1" -Variable "Name"

PS C:\\>$B | Remove-PSBreakpoint



This command deletes a breakpoint.



The first command uses the Set-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to create a breakpoint on the Name variable in the Sample.ps1 script. Then, it saves the

breakpoint object in the $B variable.



The second command uses the Remove-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to delete the new breakpoint. It uses a pipeline operator (|) to send the breakpoint object

in the $B variable to the Remove-PSBreakpoint cmdlet.



As a result of this command, if you run the script, it runs to completion without stopping. Also, the Get-PSBreakpoint cmdlet does not return this

breakpoint.

Example 3: Remove a breakpoint by ID



PS C:\\>Remove-PSBreakpoint -Id 2



This command deletes the breakpoint with breakpoint ID 2.

Example 4: Use a function to remove all breakpoints



PS C:\\>function del-psb { get-psbreakpoint | remove-psbreakpoint }



This simple function deletes all of the breakpoints in the current console. It uses the Get-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to get the breakpoints. Then, it

uses a pipeline operator (|) to send the breakpoints to the Remove-PSBreakpoint cmdlet, which deletes them.



As a result, you can type `del-psb` instead of the longer command.



To save the function, add it to your Windows PowerShell profile.
