HPIA-PR-Detect.ps1 - The Try statement is missing its Catch or Finally block. The string is missing the terminator: ". Missing closing '}' in statement block or type definition.

When running the HPIA-PR-Detect.ps1 script in PowerShell or VS Code it results in the following errors:

 PS C:\git\source\internal> . 'C:\Scripts\HPIA\HPIA-PR-Detect.ps1'

Similar issue also occurs for other scripts. VS Code raises the below for lines 310 - 312 and 316 - 318.

The character U+2013 "–" could be confused with the ASCII character U+002d "-", which is more common in source code.

Replacing as recommended doesn't resolve.

Thanks, I've run into this in the past when uploading scripts to GitHub, copy / paste issue or something.
Thanks for pointing it out. I've done a find / replace, and it should be resolved now.

Please feel free to open these issues as you find them. Much appreciated.
Sorry for the delay, I didn't notice the issue until this weekend.

Thanks Gary,

Unfortunately similar issue popped up with the new version, in different lines.

Find & replacing would sometimes work others not, but got there in the end. I'll raise another issue for what I encountered next.
