OutputDebug

AutoHotkey GUI

OutputDebug

Sends a string to the debugger (if any) for display.

OutputDebug, Text

Parameters

Text

The text to send to the debugger for display. This text may include linefeed characters (`n) to start new lines. In addition, a single long line can be broken up into several shorter ones by means of a continuation section.

Remarks

If the script's process has no debugger, the system debugger displays the string. If the system debugger is not active, this command has no effect.

One example of a debugger is DebugView, which is free and available at www.sysinternals.com.
