Sequentially run multiple scripts from one 'master' script

Question

I have plenty of ps1 scipts which I execute one by one manually, they have $ErrorActionPreference = "Stop" in their syntax so if something goes wrong they shall stop.

What I want help with is to create a ps1 script that can run all of these scripts sequentially. So if one script fails the "master script" must stop and not continue with next script.

If you have 4 files like:

1WriteHello.ps1

Write-Host "Hello " -NoNewLine

2WriteWorld.ps1

Write-Host "World!"

3WriteError.ps1

Write-Error "Something went wrong."

4WriteANumber.ps1

Write-Host "123"

You can run it with command:

$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; Get-Item 'C:\Path\*.ps1' |% { & $_.FullName }

In your example:

$Scripts = 'D:\temp\download_script.ps1', 'D:\temp\upload_script.ps1', 'D:\temp\reset_scripts.ps1'
$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'
$Scripts |% { & $_ }

You may want to sort the files you get, as not every file system gives you files ordered alphabetically (especially on non-Windows systems).

Also worth noting that % is an alias of ForEach-Object
