Logging

There are 2 ways that you can use to print log into Rainmeter log windows

Rainmeter API

Function	Parameters	Description
$RmAPI.Log	(message)	Prints notice message
$RmAPI.Log	(format, ...arg[])	Prints formatted notice message
$RmAPI.LogDebug	(message)	Prints debug message
$RmAPI.LogDebug	(format, ...arg[])	Prints formatted debug message
$RmAPI.LogError	(message)	Prints error message
$RmAPI.LogError	(format, ...arg[])	Prints formatted error message
$RmAPI.LogWarning	(message)	Prints warning message

Example using Rainmeter API to log

# Print a warning:
$RmAPI.LogWarning("WARNING! Be careful dude.")

# Print a formatted error:
$errorSource = "an option"
$check = "Color variable"
$RmAPI.LogError("ERROR! You messed {0} up! Check {1} again!", $errorSource, $check)

Write- cmdlets

Powershell has these commands on default and they are re-routed to print to Log window:

Cmdlet	Description
Write-Host	Print notice message
Write-Warning	Print warning message
Write-Debug	Print debug message
Write-Verbose	Print notice message

Message from Write-Debug is only printed when you manually set in your script variable:

$DebugPreference = "Continue"

Message from Write-Verbose is only printed when you manually set in your script variable:

$VerbosePreference = "Continue"
