KiXtart provides a basic debug facility. In debug mode, a script can be
executed statement by statement, the value of variables or macros can be
displayed, and you can execute arbitrary script commands. To run a script in
debug mode, specify '/d' on the command line. Alternatively, you can enter and
leave debug mode anywhere in a script using the DEBUG ON and DEBUG OFF commands.
Note: debug mode can be completely disabled from within a script using
SetOption("DisableDebugging", "On").
In debug mode, the top line of the screen is used to display the current line
in the script starting at the current statement. Optionally, the second line of
the screen is used to display the value of a specific variable or macro.
In debug mode, the following keys are available to control script execution :
| F5 |
Run (deactivates debug mode, runs rest of script to
the end or until a DEBUG ON command is encountered). |
| F8 |
Step into (run a single statement, follow thread into
subroutines, UDF’s, and secondary scripts). |
| [Space] |
Step into (run a single statement, follow thread into
subroutines, UDF’s, and secondary scripts). |
| [Enter] |
Step into (run a single statement, follow thread into
subroutines, UDF’s, and secondary scripts). |
| F10 |
Step over (run a single statement, executes, but skips
over subroutines, UDF’s, and secondary scripts as far as the debugger
is concerned). |
| [ESC] |
Quit |
| Q |
Quit |
Additionally, you can query the value of a variable, array element or macro
simply by typing the name and pressing [Enter]. Similarly, you can execute an
arbitrary piece of KiXtart code simply by typing it in and pressing [Enter].
