I have read most of the help files and i found a function too _FilewriteLog(). but here my problem is this is not helping me much i expected. it should generate the log file automatically. do we have any function for that ?

you need to tell it what to write to a file.

im sorry, but there isn't a function that automatically knows what you want.

umm what exactly are you trying to log...?

i would like to create a script which will check the basic functionalities of the application at the same time it should create the automatic log files of the step which ever happens the scripts

so you mean you want to write to the log file after every function? if so then just add the _FileWriteLog to your functions...

In the future please be a bit more detailed. And as for checking the basic functionalities of a program I am assuming you mean one made in AutoIT. This is not to hard, however that is totaly dependant on the coding. Namely return values and @error...

My advice is start small.. make gui's, explore the forums, and slowly things start to click. Then after your scripts grow then return and odds are you will know enough to add checks and file logging to your scripts.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the above. Actually i am writing the script to test the funtions of the application(like., Excel, word,etc.,_ by using the key stroke function like Send(), Winwait. By using this funtcions i am checking the applications funtcions like ( Open, add comment, Save, close.,. etv.,) when we do this there may be a chance of getting error message from the application. If we have some automatic log creator which will read the happenings and gui's we can findout the error some time easily. so i am digging myself too findout.. but i am not sure

Thanks for the Idea,

Sure i will start writing small scripts.

I do not think what you are asking is possible. There might be a way to get some information, but AutoIT is a scripting language not a debugger and therefore you might want to look into those applications for issues with errors.

Unless you wrote your script to automate the functions you are talking about then you could get more info.

If I am wrong - please correct me.
