MaxScript Listener -- how to mark...

[ypuech]

Hi,

If you cannot locate the error, maybe the error comes from an undefined value : search for values state using print (I love print debug in MAXScript...:)).

[MerlinEl]

I like to put "format" or "print" variables to listener to , but sometimes is no time for this :)

if is posible do somethink like this ............

when i get: -- Error occurred in position: 4416

fn getTextIn file lineNum =
(

local f= openFile "foo.ms" mode:"r+"
local count = 0
while not eof f do -- read until reach end of file
(
local line=readline f -- read in a line
count += 1
if count == lineNum do
(
format "Error in line:%\ndata:%\n" lineNum line
)
)
close f

)

After i can copy the string from listener and search for it but
better should be mark the line to blue in opened script in max window

Hi Rene,

Thanks for the explanation.

I've found some functions to interact with the listener : see "Controlling the Listener Contents and the Insertion Point" in the reference.

Maybe setListenerSel does what you want.

espece de maso!

Yes :), but print is better than MAXScript debugger that does nothing interesting!

example:
-- Error occurred in switchSemaphore(); filename: E:\Car Trace\ct9.ms; position: 4416


is there any way mark this line in my script?

manualy is not mutch easy to find it :D

Press Ctrl+J and enter the number there.

This was added to Max 8 but was undocumented until Max 9 because nobody told me ;)

nop!
In "Controlling the Listener Contents" I find only how manipulate him self ,
nothing about selecting text in script window.

like this screenshot:
