How to know that the script is running in Debug?

[Massimo]

Any one knows if there is a method to know that the script is running in debug mode?
I need to change the behavior of my program in function of this.
For sure I could set a variable to True or False, but it would be great if this could be evaluated automatically by testing a system variable

Thanks

You can look at the command line variable and see what process it is running from.

Thanks, very simple
However I had to change in:

Let>Me=%COMMAND_LINE%

Result:
Me="C:\Program Files (x86)\Macro Scheduler 15\msched.exe"

Am I missing something here?

Is not "running in debug" simply another way of saying "running in the editor"? In my experience no matter how you run a non-compiled script the command_line variable will always be installed_directory\msched.exe. That includes running in the editor. The only way I am aware to determine whether you are running in the editor is to check if the current window is "Macro - ScriptName". If the current window is "Macro - ScriptName", you in Debug or running in the editor.

Code: Select all

ExtractFileName>Script_name,fName,1
GetActiveWindow>WinTitle,WinX,Winy
Let>TestName=Macro - %FName%

If>{(%WinTitle%=%TestName%)or(%script_Name%="__debug.dbg")}
  Let>Debug_Mode=True
Else
  Let>Debug_Mode=False
EndIf

MDL>Debug_Mode

I was thinking along the same lines as you too. The previous solution would identify if it was a compiled script or being run by Macro Scheduler.

This was my effort.

Code: Select all

GetActiveWindow>window_title,XX,YY
Pos>%script_name%,window_title,1,Open,

If>Open>0
  mdl>Open in debugger
else
  mdl>NOT open in debugger
Endif

Glad you agree. Its always worrisome not quite knowing what others are thinking. Not that I haven't had to pull my foot out of my mouth hundreds of times before. Still, strive for "accuracy".

I would add to your "If>" line to catch the possibility of not yet having saved/named the new macro.

Code: Select all

GetActiveWindow>window_title,XX,YY
Pos>%script_name%,window_title,1,Open,

If>{(%Open%>0)or(%window_title%="Macro - ")}
  mdl>Open in debugger
else
  mdl>NOT open in debugger
Endif

Aaah, good point! Thank you!
