[Feature Request]: Skip graphical elements in logs?

[rpodric]

The request

It's possible that there's already a way to do this, but I don't see it in the description. What I'm looking to do is make logs smaller and more readable by not including sections like this:

There isn't a way to do this at the moment (unless the code is rewritten).
The code responsible for the WinGet graphical output in the log file is | Tee-Object -file $LogFile -Append:

4 results - 2 files

Sources\Winget-AutoUpdate\Winget-Install.ps1:
  162          Write-ToLog "-> Running: `"$Winget`" $WingetArgs"
  163:         & "$Winget" $WingetArgs | Where-Object { $_ -notlike "   *" } | Tee-Object -file $LogFile -Append
  164  

  214          Write-ToLog "-> Running: `"$Winget`" $WingetArgs"
  215:         & "$Winget" $WingetArgs | Where-Object { $_ -notlike "   *" } | Tee-Object -file $LogFile -Append
  216  

Sources\Winget-AutoUpdate\functions\Update-App.ps1:
   72  	& $Winget $allParams | Where-Object { $_ -notlike "   *" } | 
   73: 		Tee-Object -file $LogFile -Append
   74  

  138              & $Winget $allParams | Where-Object { $_ -notlike "   *" } | 
  139:                 Tee-Object -file $LogFile -Append
  140  

Running WinGet with --disable-interactivity or --silent may do the trick (but that is a coding thing too).

[KnifMelti]

You could create a cleaning of the log file in mods\_WAU-mods-postsys.ps1
e.g:

# Read all lines from log file
$Lines = Get-Content $LogFile

# Filter lines that start with timestamp, '#', or '->'
$FilteredLines = $Lines | Where-Object {
    $_ -match '^\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}' -or
    $_ -match '^#' -or
    $_ -match '^->'
}

# Save filtered content back to file
$FilteredLines | Out-File $LogFile -Encoding UTF8

Write-ToLog "-> Log file filtered successfully. Kept $($FilteredLines.Count) of $($Lines.Count) lines."

This will filter out from:
