Step by Step

[Zoar]

Hi I have a script that doesn’t quite do what I expect (oh that never happens!) is there any way of running it in “STEP” mode so I can run one line at a time?

Hi. Every output you can declare to text file or use consolewrite for more comfortable debugging.

Personally me, I use msgboxes, this way is not appreciated but comfortable for me.

There are multiple ways to do what you want:

• The AutoIt Wiki has a complete chapter handling debugging
• Use ConsoleWrite or MsgBox as suggested to output the content of variables you are interested in or to show that your script runs certain lines of code
• SciTe offers some debugging tools. "Debug to Console", "Debug to MsgBox", Trace and DebugTrace functions
• There is a graphical debugger available that lets you step through your script

Also you can add:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Debug_Mode=Y

At the top of your script.

Note that you need SciTE4AutoIt3 for this and others related to SciTE to work.
