Log

Use

Logs debugger commands and, optionally, output to a specified file or files.

Command Syntax

LOG [/FuLL]filename

where:

filename: Is the pathname of any file allowing write permission to the user

Description

The Log command causes all subsequent debugger commands to be appended to the specified file.

The /FULL option specifies that all output from the debugger be logged to the specified file in addition to all debugger commands. It is possible to log commands to one file and commands-and-output to another file. This would be done by the commands:

CodeWatch> LOG filel 
CodeWatch> LOG /FULL file2

The NLOG command takes an optional file name that tells the debugger which log session to stop. If no file name is given, the debugger will first check if commands are being logged to a file (no /FULL). If so, that log session is stopped. If there is no such log session, the debugger checks to see if commands-and-output to a file (/FULL) are being logged. If so, that log session is stopped.

Example

CodeWatch> LOG temp 
CodeWatch> FIND Main
77 REM       ** Main Program **
CodeWatch> BREAKPOINT 89 
CodeWatch> PRINT 20
   77:            REM    ** Main Program **
   78:            INTEGER max_value, max_primes, n
   79:            REM      REAL a
   80:
   81:            max_value  = 1000
   82:            max_primes = 500
CodeWatch> NLOG
Ending debugger command logging to "temp"
CodeWatch> !cat temp 
FIND Main
BREAKPOINT 89
PRINT 20
