Debug statements in OScript

[madhuusa]

Hi All,
I got a module from a vendor (who is no longer in business) and i need to debug it.

I can setup break points and debug it.

But I am wondering whether there is any way in which I can debug using System.out.println kind of statement in OScript so that it writes to a output file.

I tried using Echo but it comes only in debug window and not in any log file. My debug level is 2 and wantLogs and wantVerbose mode are true.

just create a simple function to output to a log file .In oscript there is not a logger that is supplied by OT.All of us creates simple functions for it.In my ospace I create a utils object and then I create the function and promote it to global.
That way I can call it form ll my objects.
An example

function LogWrite(String path, \
	String	mesg	 )


    String logpath = $Kernel.SystemPreferences.GetPrefGeneral( 'Logpath' )
	String logFileName=logpath+'alitekcustom\'+Date.DateToString( Date.Now(), "%m%d%Y%H%M" )+'_eventscript.log'
	String	msg = Str.ValueToString( Date.Now() ) + " - " + mesg
	
	if length(path) == 0
	path=logFileName
	else
	logFileName=logpath+'camali\'+path+'_eventscript.log'
	end
	
	if !File.Exists( path)
		 File.Create( path )
	end
	
	
	File f = File.Open( logFileName, File.AppendMode )
	
	if ( f )
		File.Write( f, msg )
		File.Close( f )
	else
		echo( "Error opening file: ", f )
	end
	
end

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?
