A few weeks ago I posted an entry on creating customized debug messages that you can use in your scripting. After some more testing and tweaking I revised and renamed the function. Write-DebugMessage can now be used within your script to send messages to the debug pipeline. I moved the $debugpreference setting to the function itself and made other improvements.

Fun with Debug Messages
In my script and function development, I often add the line $DebugPreference=”SilentlyContinue” to the beginning of my code.

When I want to see the debug messages, I set $DebugPreference to “Continue” and voila!. In PrimalScript all the messages are written to the debug panel. But I wanted more .
