I have SharePoint Powershell Script in .ps1 format and it includes 4 commands. When I run this script, it does not stop if any error occurs in middle.

For example, if error occurs at 2nd command it displays error message and starts executing the 3rd command, but I want it to stop at 2nd command and it should not execute any following commands.

Press Ctrl + X to cancel the script execution.

You can specify -erroraction parameter value to stop. If you want same behavior for all commands in your script, set $ erroractionpreference value to stop before executing any commands.

You might consider using try/catch blocks. An example on how to use this is in the first answer at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4456863/powershell-try-catch-rethrow-not-propagating-error-powershell-2-0.

You have to set ErrorAction Parameter to stop. To see which values are valid for the ErrorAction parameter you should use

Get-Help about_commonparameters

try-catch-finally is used as in many other programming languages

try
{
   DoSomethingThatMayFail;
}
catch
{
   LogError;
}
finally
{
   Cleanup;
}
