Adding header to newly created scripts in PowerShell ISE

Here is a simple function that you can use to add a script header everytime you create a new script file in PowerShell ISE. Jeff Hicks posted a function to create an addon menu option to do this. What I am showing here does not add any menu option.

Once we receive this event, we use the Add-Header function to insert the script header. While writing this, I found an issue (hopefully.!) with …
