Hi, The only way I know this would work right would be to get every single possible event function and make it call some sort of debug script that would then right data to a file. You'd get an awful lot of information.

Hi Jeff I prefer to use AppendToClipboard rather than SayString for debugging messages. I put a CopyToClipboard statement into the AutoStart function to clear the clipboard, then use the AppendToClipboard to write any debugging information I want. Then when the script has run, I open or switch to NotePad, or the favorite text editor, clear whatever it may contain, and then paste the clipboard. Then I can study it all I want. As the e-mails about piping a string variable to a txt file pointed out, it's not that simple to write to a file from a JAWS script. -----Original Message----- From: jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Geoff Chapman Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 2:24 AM To: jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jawsscripts] logging multiple debug statements for later examination? Hi Scripters. as per subject line, If I've got a number of things going on in a script, and I've got a number of SayString debug statements along the way gleaning bits of information which will help me determine the accuracy of my logic flow, or whatever the funky term is for that, How might I most optimally log those to a file for later more careful and thoughtful examination, rather than having them just all spoken out in a big stream by jaws as the script proceeds, and which of course I forget by the end of it? <smile.> would I use some kind of iniwrite functionality or something? or do people think it would be optimal to use the append to clipboard functionality and just have all the debug statements shoved on there, for later pasting into a file? any info warmly appreciated.
