Log

Type

statement

Summary

Logs a value.

Syntax

log <Value> [ with <Arguments> ]

Description

The log command triggers a logChanged message with the accumulated log messages since the logChanged message was last handled. This can be handled in LiveCode Script, for example:

    on logChanged pLog
        write pLog to stdout
    end logChanged

If using the 'with arguments' form, the Value must be a String. Each occurrence of %@ in the String is replaced by a string representation of subsequent values in the Arguments List.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
Value		The value to log.
Arguments		A list of arguments.

Examples

variable tList as List
get property "name" of my script object
push the result onto tList

get property "id" of my script object
push the result onto tList

log "Widget %@ has id %@" with tList

variable tList as List
put [1,2,3,4] into tList
log tList
