Guidelines for indentation

02/11/2022 Contributors

You must be aware of the guidelines for indentation when writing a PowerShell or Perl script for OnCommand Workflow Automation (WFA).

Guidelines	Example
A tab is equal to four empty spaces.
Use tabs and braces to show the beginning and end of a block.	PowerShell script if ($pair.length-ne 2) { throw "Got wrong input data" } Perl script if (defined $MaxDirectorySize) { # convert from MBytes to Bytes my $MaxDirectorySizeBytes = $MaxDirectorySize * 1024 * 1024; }
Add blank lines between sets of operations or chunks of code.	$options=$option.trim(); $pair=$option.split(" "); Get-WFAlogger -Info -messages $("split options: "+ $Pair)

Example

A tab is equal to four empty spaces.

Use tabs and braces to show the beginning and end of a block.

PowerShell script

if
($pair.length-ne 2)
{
throw "Got wrong input data"
}

Perl script

if
(defined $MaxDirectorySize)
{
# convert from MBytes to Bytes
my $MaxDirectorySizeBytes = $MaxDirectorySize *
1024 * 1024;
}

Add blank lines between sets of operations or chunks of code.

$options=$option.trim();
$pair=$option.split(" ");
Get-WFAlogger -Info -messages $("split options: "+
$Pair)
