Besides sticking a message box command in my script every time I need to operate based on the value of errorlevel, is there some way that I can monitor what it's current value is (and possibly what command is changing it)?

I wondered if using a script like Gre's http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1062 would do the trick, but maybe there is a better way.

This is what Gre's script looks like:

As you know, since many commands set ErrorLevel, it's best to check it immediately after any command for which its value is important. Currently, there's not much else you can do.

On a related note, you can open the script's main window and choose the menu item on View > Variables to see the contents of ErrorLevel and other variables. You can press F5 to refresh as needed.

Thanks Chris.

Here's another question that probably has an obvious answer:

How do I write an AND with IF commands? I want to only do something if two different conditions are met. Is it as easy as putting one IF right below the previous one?



This code doesn't seem to work for me. It's within a non-hotkey gosub that gets called from a loop.

Sometimes,when debugging a script,I use sounds to tell me the errorlevel value, if errorlevel is "bad"
the script plays a sound followed by other sounds that represents each errorlevel value.
You can also use only beeps.To play a beep:

it would be good to see more portions of the code

You're on the right track. An "and" would typically be written this way:
Unfortunately, the above can make "else" harder to use since now you have two IFs, each of which would require an else rather than just one.

In case you don't know, some simple "and" and "or" tasks (though not the one you mentioned) can be handled with the following:
if var [not] between 1 and 10
if var [not] in 1,3,5,7
if var [not] contains substring1,substring2

I know AutoHotkey is very limited in this area. Hopefully there will be some improved syntax in a future version.
