i need to delete several generated files. I created a script:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Select-String "Generated by Terragrunt" -List | Select-Object Path | Remove-Item

The problem is of course it is matching the script it self, thus it deletes it self.

What is the easiest way to prevent it. I would like to have a method that is stable against changing script name and folder (it should always delete relative to its position but not it self).

You can get the name of the current script file like this:

$currentScriptFile = if ($PSCommandPath) { Split-Path $PSCommandPath -Leaf } else { Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition -Leaf }

Then use as

Get-ChildItem -Recurse -File -Exclude $currentScriptFile
