powershell indentation

Question

I\'m writing a large script that deploys an application. This script is based on several nested function calls.

Is there any way to \"ident\" the output based on the dep

Answer 1

You can override Write-Host to write your indents before calling the original with the '&' operator and the namespace. You might be able to derive the amount of indentation from the current stack scope, but a global variable gives you more control.

$global:writeHostIndent

function Write-Host
{
    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Host (' ' * $global:writeHostIndent) -NoNewline
    & 'Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Host' $args
}
