Re: Debugger?

I accomplish something similar by using a simple Find/Replace to "comment out" the debugging dialogs and logs or "un-comment out" them.

display dialog "Debug: " & variableToCheck

Can then do Find: display dialog "Debug:
and replace with: -- display dialog "Debug:

in one step they're toggled. Can do the same with log.

I've even used schemes for long scripts that allow the choice of between levels of debugging.
display dialog "Debug Main: " & variableToCheck
display dialog "Debug Sub1: " & variableToCheck
display dialog "Debug Sub2: " & variableToCheck
display dialog "Debug Events: " & variableToCheck
etc.

Then, with simple change alls, I can turn on and off debugging display dialogs for different levels/parts of the script.

Cheers,
Joe Weaks

To keep the effort of logging at a minimum, I'd suggest to break down the
logging itself into a handler, like

property doLog:true
property doBreak:true

on LogIt(logWhat)
if doLog is true then
log logWhat
end if
end LogIt

on BreakIt(TellMe)
if doBreak is true then
display dialog TellMe
end if
end BreakIt

That way, logging and breaking could be turned on an off just by setting the
properties. No need to out comment any log or display dialog.
