Keeping track of a script while it's running

Question

Hi all,

I use ExtendScript Toolkit for my InDesign coding and I was wondering if there is a way to keep track of where in the script the program is when running the script in InDesign?

This is for problem solving, at the moment I add Alerts in the script to do this but wondering if there is a more automatic way that keeps you up to date while it's actually running.

Thanks, Bren

Hi Bren,

The easiest thing to do, to just give you are track of what is happening would be to create a log as your script is running.

There are a couple of places with help in this :

Hope they help
