DebugFileName

Unit:SDL_math2
Class:TExtractor
Declaration:property DebugFileName: string;

Errors in the extractor script are particularly difficult to find, especially if the sources of unit are not available. In order to cope with such situations you may use the property DebugFileName. Setting this property to a valid file path forces the TExtractor component to write debug information to this file during the execution of the script.

Debug information is always appended to the file addressed by the property DebugFileName. If the file initially does not exist the file is created automatically. For each source line the debug text contains the date and time of execution, the source line, and the list of executed extraction commands, including the associated parameters.

Example: The following example shows the resulting debug text for a single input line if the following script is applied: 
 
pos(1); 
copy (4, validline); 
calc(test=validline <= 0); 
exiton (test); 
pos(1); 
copyuntil (',', Num); 
copyuntil (',', LMid); 
emit (Name=LMid); 
copyuntil (',', Lat); 
emit (Latitude=Lat); 
copyuntil (',', Long); 
emit (Longitude=Long); 
find (1, ',,'); 
inc(2); 
find (3, ','); 
inc(1); 
copyuntil (',', H); 
emit (Height=H*0.3048); 
find (1, ',,,'); 
inc(3); 
copyuntil (',', tim); 
emit (Time=tim);

The resulting debug text reads like this (the variable FSPos is the source character pointer):
