I'm using a fubction to get output to file and I'm trying to find a way to have the output on the console colored, is that possible?

It depends a bit how the output on the console is created.

Is that with Write-Host, then you can use the Foreground and Background parameters.

If you are talking about error, warning, verbose, debug ... messages, you can change the values in the corresponding properties in $host.PrivateData.

Thanks LucD :smileyhappy:

I'm using a function to log output to file , so if I have understood correctly shall I add this parametre $host.PrivateData to my function or I need to create another one?

is there some samples to check and learn from it?:smileyblush:

Like it said earlier, it depends on how that output in that function is generated.

Is that via Write-Host?

If it is the colours of the standard messages (error, warning ...), you can use the $host.PrivateData properties.

See for example Change the PowerShell Colors

It would help if you show the code that generates the output.
