Redirecting Output and Error to custom PSHostUserInterface
I am using a custom PSHostUserInterface to handle custom input and output when running PowerShell scripts. By default, it seems that Write-Error does not use PSHostUserInterface.WriteErrorLine, and Write-Output does not use any of the available functions.
The common answer seems to be using $host.ui.WriteErrorLine() instead of Write-Error, but I have a large collection of existing scripts and would prefer not to have to go though and edit all of them. I would like to, if at all possible, redirect error messages such that the message from Write-Error "message" is passed as $host.ui.WriteErrorLine("message"). Is this possible?
In addition to this, I would like to be able to also redirect Write-Output to PSHostUserInterface.WriteLine. To make matters a bit simpler, all calls to Write-Output are strings, so although a PSObject is spawned when it is called, it is guaranteed to only be a string.
I realize this may not be the best practice, but all of the scripts in question (and there are many of them) are in-house and use the basic Write-* syntax, so keeping the scripts as-is is much preferred to changing all of them.

You can overwrite Write-Error function. You can put new definition at the beginning of each script or save it as a module to apply new definition across all scripts
function write-error {param($errMsg)
$host.ui.WriteErrorLine($errMsg)
}
To invoke original Write-Error cmdlet you can use
Microsoft.PowerShell.UtilityWrite-Error
