ListLines

From Auto Hotkey

ListLines

Enables or disables line logging or displays the script lines most recently executed.

ListLines "On|Off"

Parameters

On|Off

If blank or omitted, the history of lines most recently executed is shown. The first parameter affects only the behavior of the current thread as follows:

On or 1 (true): Includes subsequently-executed lines in the history. This is the starting default for all scripts.

Off or 0 (false): Omits subsequently-executed lines from the history.

Remarks

ListLines (with no parameter) is equivalent to selecting the "View->Lines most recently executed" menu item in the main window. It can help debug a script.

ListLines "On|Off" can be used to selectively omit some lines from the history, which can help prevent the history from filling up too quickly (such as in a loop with many fast iterations). Additionally, performance is reduced by a few percent while line logging is enabled.

Every newly launched thread (such as a hotkey, custom menu item, or timed subroutine) starts off fresh with the default setting for this function. That default may be changed by using this function in the auto-execute section (top part of the script).

The built-in variable A_ListLines contains 1 if ListLines is enabled and 0 otherwise.

On a related note, the built-in variables A_LineNumber and A_LineFile contain the currently executing line number and the file name to which it belongs.
