Display PowerShell Full Exception Message with (Out-String)

I was requested to write a detailed PowerShell Script that can log the Caught exception as string.

Actually it wasn’t easy as it looks like at first.

I tried to use write-host with a lot of Exception properties, as below, and all didn’t work as expected, I never found the error location as the Out-of-the-box PowerShell exception.

This is what I expected to see, detailed Exception with location error

then I came across one article mentioned that I need to use Out-String during the catch { }, this gives me exactly the details for the  exception I’m looking for

try
{
$v= 9/0
}
catch
{
write-host ($_ | Out-String) -ForegroundColor Red
}


Now the Exception looks really detailed and meaningful.
