Create a Log file using the output of trace Lines

[damon]

I hope I did not miss it anywhere. I have looked and searched the help file and this forum board without any results.

Here is what I need to do. I have a 3200 Line script that I would like to output a *.log file.

I want it to output to a file like the Trace Lines do, with the same or more output options. I would like to know if there is a way to output it as the line is being read so that if something crashes I can look at the log file to find out were it stopped.

Is there a global option or will I have to add something like a filewrite() to every line in my script?

Try and how this works for you:

Opt("TrayIconDebug",1)

If enabled shows the current script line in the tray icon tip to help debugging.

0 = no debug information (default)

1 = show debug

Edit: Shoot, nevermind, you want a log output. Sorry!

thats my problem to, I can not figure out how to write it to a file.

I tried

#include <Debug.au3>

_DebugSetup ("Uninstall",true, 2,@ScriptDir & "\uninstall.log")

but it did not do anything. now this was insertedin the begining of my code after adding trace to all my lines.

If I understand the _debugsetup correctly then "Uninstall" is the heading of the file, 2 -- means it is looking for ConsoleWrite, and "\uninstall.log" is the file I want it to write to.

being that it does not work I assume that I do not understand the _debugsetup or it will not do what I want it to do.

Ok, I tryied this

#include <Debug.au3>

_DebugSetup ("Uninstall",true, 4,@ScriptDir & "\uninstall.log")

It created the uninstall.log but the only thing in it is\

AutoIt:3.3.6.1 (Os:WIN_XP/X86/Service Pack 3 Language:0409 Keyboard:00000409 Cpu:X64)

I am assuming that it wrote to the uninstall file because I changed 3-to-4, but how do i get it to use the consolewrite as what is input into the uninstall.log file?

Yes, at least wherever you want logging to occur.

I prefer _FileWriteLog(), as it adds a time stamp to every entry.

Try a search fo AutoIt debugger in the Example Scripts forum. May help you.
