MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Loggers Namespace

This logger can be used to replace text that is logged with hashes (#) based on a set of Regular Expression matches

Syntax:

/l:SecureFileLogger,MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Loggers.dll;logfile=YOURLOGFILE;rulefile=YOURRULEFILE;append=BOOL;verbosity=YOURVERBOSITY;encoding=YOURENCODING

Parameters:

Logfile: A optional parameter that specifies the file in which to store the log information. Defaults to securemsbuild.log

RuleFile: A optional parameter that specifies the file in which to read regular expressions from. Use one Regular Expression per line. Defaults to (?i:.*password.*)

Append: An optional boolean parameter that indicates whether or not to append the log to the specified file: true to add the log to the text already present in the file; false to overwrite the contents of the file. The default is false.
