Is there a way to specify a font color when using write-output

Question

I have a powershell script that gives some status output via write-output. I am intentionally not using write-host because the output may be captured and writt

Answer 1

This way:

function Green
{
    process { Write-Host $_ -ForegroundColor Green }
}

function Red
{
    process { Write-Host $_ -ForegroundColor Red }
}

Write-Output "this is a test" | Green
Write-Output "this is a test" | Red
