    Hello

    I didn't found any Script Forum, so I hope Macro is close enough :)
    I am currently playing with the new script engine, and I have several questions you may have already answered.

    :arrow: Is there a way to write in the Output Window ?
    it could be very useful to debug scripts.

    :arrow: Is it possible to disable the Output Window for a script.
    I am using a TODO macro (with FindInFiles) and if I use a script, I lose all my todos just to know my 'Script succeeded'...

    :arrow: Is there a command to stop the execution of a script, like a 'stop' or 'exit' keyword ?

    :arrow: The doc say the script engine implements JavaScript 1.7, but it seems I can't use some 1.7 features, like 'yield'.
    Here is the example from Mozilla Dev Center :

    Code: Select all

    function fib() {
  var i = 0, j = 1;
  while (true) {
    yield i;
    var t = i;
    i = j;
    j += t;
  }
}

var g = fib();
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  document.write(g.next() + "<BR>\n");
}
    Thanks for your help!

      At least I can tell you how to stop a function:

      Code: Select all

      return;
      The rest: No clue, sry. Still trying hard on that Javascript....

        Thanks, Bego, at least one out of 4 :wink:
        It seems to only work in functions though, but I can live with that :)

          I think key would be the phrase "core functionality"

          I used the yield 1.7 sample from the same page and it errors out at that line.

          btw, after the upgrade I shot over here and was wondering if they had created a "Scripting forum" or put it under Macros.

            Is there a way to write in the Output Window ?

            I was wondering about that too. So far my best option is using the getValue as an alert box. But that isn't the prettiest solution.

              For the interim you can always open one more document than you need (blank) and send your output there; i.e. if you have 2 documents that you're editing open a third and use:

              UltraEdit.document[2].write(my_variable);

              Yes, it's not pretty, yes you'd have to change the index (or "variablize" it), but it gets the job done for now.
