I want my PowerShell script to print something like this:
Enabling feature XYZ......Done
The script looks something like this:
I cheated, but I believe this is the only answer that addresses every requirement. Namely, this avoids the trailing CRLF, provides a place for the other operation to complete in the meantime, and properly redirects to stdout as necessary.
$c_sharp_source = @"
using System;
namespace StackOverflow
{
public class ConsoleOut
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.Write(args[0]);
}
}
}
"@
$compiler_parameters = New-Object System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters
$compiler_parameters.GenerateExecutable = $true
$compiler_parameters.OutputAssembly = "consoleout.exe"
Add-Type -TypeDefinition $c_sharp_source -Language CSharp -CompilerParameters $compiler_parameters
.\consoleout.exe "Enabling feature XYZ......."
Write-Output 'Done.'
