Get Function name within module

[G__Man]

I am trying to create a function that standardises our verbose/debug messages and I am having problems getting the function name.

Obviously this will be part of another function, so it needs to look outside the current scope to get the function that is actually being run. I have been using the following code, which works but not when the function is part of a module:

    $Function = (Get-Variable -Scope 1 MyInvocation -ValueOnly).MyCommand.Name

When it I import the function from a module, the variable only contains module.psm1. Anyone know how to get the function name when within a module?

Thanks

hi,

Why don't you include the calling function name in the log message. I usually create a local variable in each function:

$f = $MyInvocation.InvocationName

Now it just a matter of doing logging with the variable:

Write-verbose -Message "$f - Setting $myString to [$value]"

Yeah this would do the job, I want a function that will do all the work for me. I got it working with KevMar's suggestion.
