Assembly Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Following from another post, I installed text wrangler. How does one use this? Can it be used to debug vscripts?. Do you just use it to format a script and cut and paste it into the Vscript?. Do you go for a separate text file and use $include in the PIO's Quote Link to comment
MullinRJ Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 TextWrangler is just a word processor. Yes, you use $Include in your PIO to reference a text file on disk, which makes debugging your script faster than opening the PIO Script editor each time you want to effect a change. You keep the file open in TextWrangler (or any text based word processor), make a change, save the file to disk and run your PIO again to see the effect of your change. One nice thing about using TextWrangler is that it allows for text coloring of key words in VS by adding a plugin to TW. Orso Schmid posted such a PlugIn to TW with the list of keywords that TextWrangler will recognize when your file extension is .px, .vs, or a few others. You can find it and installation instructions here: http://www.vectorlab.info/index.php?title=VSS_Language_Module_for_BBedit_%26_TextWrangler You will also want to turn the Compiler Mode preference on, so your script gets compiled each time it is run.
