StdErr_Write(A_LineNumber,ErrorMessage[,Specifically])

[Holle]

This is script from Lexikos. The original thread is here.

I have edited the format, so it looks like the other error messages (testet with SciTE4Autohotkey Version 3.0.04).

You can use this Script for debug.

Many thanks to Lexikos for this great function!
