Powershell - Checking existance of a sql stored procedure exists

Question

Hi
I have Googled for this answer but not able to clearly find an answer. I'm not sure how to go about this but....I need to write a Powershell script to check for the existance of a specific Stored Procedure. This is to save me time in my current job when
customers have issues on their Servers.
This is a script that I have written so far - I've put asterix where I don't know what to put in. Please can anyone help or give me direction please.
$serverIp="10.1.2.3"
$database="HOUSEDB"
$SqlConnection.ConnectionString = "Server=" + $serverIp + ";Database=" + $database +
";Integrated Security=False;User Id=Joe123;Password=Password123"
$SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection $SqlConnection.ConnectionString
$SqlConnection.Open()
$sqlCommand = $SqlConnection.CreateCommand()
$sqlCommand.CommandText="************************" #SQL Select statement normally goes here
$adapter= New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter $sqlCommand
$dataset= New-Object System.Data.DataSet
$rec=$adapter.Fill($dataset)
Write-Host ***************************
Cheers
Matt

This is how we test using SQL. There is not need to create datasets.  This method will always tell you if one or more objects are found.  It is also useful for getting record counts.  It is faster and less resource intensive than
returning and filling a dataset.
$SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection $SqlConnection.ConnectionString
$SqlConnection.Open()
$sqlCommand = $SqlConnection.CreateCommand()
$sqlCommand.CommandText="select * from FROM sysobjects WHERE name='my_stored-procedure'"
if($sqlCommand.ExecuteScalar() -gt 0){
Write-Host 'Your stored procedure was found' -fore green
}else{
Write-Host 'Your stored procedure was NOT found' -fore red
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
