powershell indentation
- by Steve B
I'm writing a large script that deploys an application. This script is based on several nested functions call.
Is there any way to "ident" the output based on the depth ?
For example, I have :
function myFn()
{
Write-Host "Start of myfn"
myFnNested()
Write-Host "End of myfn"
}
function myFnNested()
{
Write-Host "Start of myFnNested"
Write-Host "End of myFnNested"
}
Write-Host "Start of myscript"
Write-Host "End of myscript"
The output of the script will be :
Start of myscript
Start of myfn
Start of myfnNested
End of myFnNested
End of myFn
End of myscript
What I want to achieve is this output :
Start of myscript
Start of myfn
Start of myfnNested
End of myFnNested
End of myFn
End of myscript
As I don't want to hardly code the number of spaces (since I does not know the depth level in complex script), how can I simply reach my goal ?
Maybe something like this ?
function myFn()
{
Indent()
Write-Host "Start of myfn"
myFnNested()
Write-Host "End of myfn"
UnIndent()
}
function myFnNested()
{
Indent()
Write-Host "Start of myFnNested"
Write-Host "End of myFnNested"
UnIndent()
}
Write-Host "Start of myscript"
Write-Host "End of myscript"
