Verbose Print Macro

Author: Zinthose (talk, contrib)

Description

Very simple macro to "DetailPrint" if "VERBOSE" is defined. You could also easily modify this perform debugging if "DEBUG" is defined.

Usage

Example

!define VERBOSE
 
!include VerbosePrint.nsh
 
OutFile VerboseTest.exe
ShowInstDetails show
 
Section -Test
   ${VerbosePrint} 'This message will only print if VERBOSE is defined.'
SectionEnd

Macro Source

I wrapped it in an NSH file but you can easily copy and paste it into your scripts.
