Hi,

I've did some thinking too! It looks like (not sure if it can be relied on though) you can read back the last value written to the message box, as in:

put msg into myMsgText

Given that this is true, you could maybe have a utility that first write some "unlikely value" to the message box (maybe "!@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]".

Then scan the script(s) "executing" each statement and checking the contents of the message box for the "unlikely value", if it has changed then the last statement wrote to the message box!

Probably too hard to implement and maybe I don't have enough to think about today!!!

All the Best and Have a GREAT Weekend!

Me too...

Thinking aloud, as it were, would a handler like this work?

on checkScript pScript
  repeat for each line L in pScript
    add 1 to lineCount
if "put" is in L AND "into" is not in L then put lineCount & comma after possibleProblems
  end repeat
 put possibleProblems
end checkScript

I guess we'd need to consider "into msg" and "into message" etc... as well as "before", "after" and so on...

If we had a completely reliable version, we could even have it comment out those lines.

Or has anyone already done this?

put the scaledScore["memoryforstories"] of field "data1" into msg

Has got me before now! They can be sooooo hard to find when you are writing lots of stuff to the message box for debugging, and then forget to delete just one of them! This is especially true in a library stack, I had a rouge "put xxx" in a library that took me ages to track down, I eventually found it in a in function a few levels away from the main API Call!

I think an option that turned off the "put xxx" shortcut would be a good idea!

All the Best
Dave
