  3. Do you know why this message would come up after copying and pasting your script?

    At C:\SharePoint\Scripts\CLEAR_SP_CACHE.ps1:32 char:71
    + read-host "Do this on all your SharePoint Servers and THEN press ENTER"
    + ~
    The string is missing the terminator: ".
    + CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TerminatorExpectedAtEndOfString
