It’s always a good idea to receive user confirmations prior on proceeding to making important changes. Here’s a reusable function to be added to one’s code base for that purpose.

# Version 0.02

function confirmation($content,$testValue="I confirm",$maxAttempts=3){
  $confirmed=$false
  $cancelCondition=@('cancel','no','exit','nope')
  $attempts=0
  clear-host 
  write-host $($content|out-string).trim()
  write-host "`r`nPlease review this content for accuracy.`r`n"
  while ($attempts -le $maxAttempts){
      if($attempts++ -ge $maxAttempts){
          write-host "A maximum number of attempts have reached. No confirmations received!`r`n"
          break;
          }
      $userInput = Read-Host -Prompt "Please type in this value => $testValue <= to confirm. Input CANCEL to skip this item";
      if ($userInput.ToLower() -eq $testValue.ToLower()){
          $confirmed=$true;
          write-host "Confirmed!`r`n";
          break;                
      }elseif($userInput.tolower() -in $cancelCondition){
          write-host 'Cancel command received.'
          $confirmed=$false
          break
      }else{
          clear-host
          $content|write-host
          write-host "Attempt number $attempts of $maxAttempts`: $userInput does not match $testValue. Try again or Input CANCEL to skip this item`r`n"
          }
      }
  return $confirmed
}

function confirmation($content,$testValue="I confirm",$maxAttempts=3){
        $confirmed=$false;
        $attempts=0;        
        $content|write-host
        write-host "Please review this content for accuracy.`r`n"
        while ($attempts -le $maxAttempts){
            if($attempts++ -ge $maxAttempts){
                write-host "A maximum number of attempts have reached. No confirmations received!`r`n"

                break;                
            }elseif($userInput -like 'cancel'){
                write-host 'Cancel command received.'
                $confirmed=$false
                break
            }else{
                cls;
