Greetings, Gurus.

Is there a built-in function or 3rd part utility that will allow you to "step through" an AHK script, like the F8 function in VBA? Or is ther another means of error checking the scripts?

Thanks in advance.

I typically use a MsgBox to stop the code after certain lines & check results.

Is there a way to execute code from a variable?

Could you do this with Loop, Read?

Can you just force it on a line?

my internet connection isn't good enough for me to dig up links, but useful search terms:

run AHK dynamically with pipes
autohotkey.dll
Lexikos' custom ahk build AutohotkeyL
Autohotkey terminal


Also, many built-in tools are sufficient: msgbox, tooltip, listvars, pause, listlines, etc.

Thanks for the response, guys. My previous searches on error checking and step into/trhough didn't turn up anything useful. I'll try the terms you suggested.

Have a good one.

search for 'OutputDebug' in the helpfile for other ideas

Edit: poor design in original, useless way to report line number
