Is it possible to store in a variable the color of a text? I tried this but it doesn't work:
$format1 = "-ForegroundColor White"
$format2 = "-BackgroundColor Black"
Write-Host "Example" $format1 $format2
It returns:
"Example -ForegroundColor White -BackgroundColor Black" #(not colored)
Here is how you can accomplish what you're trying to achieve.
$format1 = @{
ForegroundColor = "White"
BackgroundColor = "Black"
}
Write-Host "Example" @format1
This method is called Splatting
and basically is how you can pass multiple arguments to a function using a hashtable
.
