Creating An Error Checking Line Number Automatically?

[supadodger 0]

i have a bunch of code like this

If Not IsArray ($blah) Then
MsgBox(0,"","Array Error On Line 95")
EndIf

the problem is everytime i make changes to the script i have to go edit every one of them MsgBox With the new line number of the script.

is there anything built in that i can use to automate this?

supadodger,

Dog eaten your Help file?

Try @ScriptLineNumber.

Won't work to well in a compiled script

Remark: will not work when compiled.

Hey,

He can read that bit for himself!

Besides debugging should come before compilation - although looking at the number of "Error on Line -1" posts it is not a common trait.

I don't suppose a #CurrentLineNum compiler directive that gets replaced at compile/runtime is within the realm of possibility, maybe?

willichan,

The more recent AutoIt releases will tell you which line of the compiled script caused a fatal error, but you need to use the script produced by Obfuscator with the /StripOnly directive to be able to determine the actual line. This is because the "compiled" script also contains all the includes and hss the blank lines and comments stripped.

It works well using these directives:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y

#Obfuscator_Parameters=/so

If you just want to know where you are in the compiled script, then you could use the _DeBug* commands - you have to mention where you are rather than use the @ScriptLineNumber macro, but it is still pretty useful.

This Is What i was hoping existed....

i just made another script that i run on every script ahead of time to update the line numbers...

Besides debugging should come before compilation - although looking at the number of "Error on Line -1" posts it is not a common trait.

i know debugging should happen before compile but lets say im doing a _stringbetween on an ie attach which the page doesnt load i want the person i send the compiled script to be able to tell me where the error occured so i can try to figure out why its not loading.

thanks anyway guys. i was just hoping for something like this to make my life simpler.
