Hey everyone! I'm running into a persistent issue with a variable I've set up in my script. I defined a variable called $detected and initialized it as false. Whenever I execute a command, if that command comes back true, I want to set $detected to true. Then, I check again to see if $detected is true to log certain information and run another command. If the latter command finds something, it sets the variable to true again. At the end, I check $detected to see if anything was found and log it, otherwise, I print that an item wasn't found. However, Visual Studio Code keeps throwing a warning about the variable being defined but not used. Is there a cleaner way to handle this issue without getting the warning? Thanks for any guidance!

Could you share your actual code snippet? Sometimes just explaining it lacks crucial details that could help identify the issue. It might help to see how you've implemented the logic in your script.
This warning usually occurs when the variables are declared but never used in a way that is meaningful in your script. You can pretty much ignore this warning if you know your logic is correct. If you want to suppress the warning, insert this line before the warning line:
```
[Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute('PSUseDeclaredVarsMoreThanAssignments', '')]
$docDetected = $true
```
This might quiet down the notifications while keeping your code intact.
Thanks for the tip! I usually just ignore the warning, but I appreciate the code snippet for suppressing it.
