Does the CLI have any debug specific commands? I'm using DB Classic.

When I print a variable to screen, it disappears instantly, how can I get around this?

I'd love to make more use of the CLI, if someone could give me a few pointers it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
All the Best,
StevieVee

the cli?? wow that's one thing i never use lol...mainly because I use the darkedit ide...

http://darkedit.nmisoftware.com/

however...i believe the cli can take any command, or sets of commands using : to break things up..so, in theory..you could check through all objects..and then get it to print whats there like this...



or something like that..break that up looks like this..


alrighty, and the same code above, is stated in the 'source' button below

btw, all code 100% untested^_~

I also use Dark Edit, but how is that a replacement for the CLI interface?

Thanks in advance.

They're both good for their own purposes, Darkedit for a long involved project you need to maintain a lot, and cli for rapid prototyping.

Yeah you can use any command in the language, but to use some effectively you'll have to add statements to your program loop.

Just a matter of using it a bit to see how it could be useful to you, there's no set method, nor I think are there any specific cli commands

Thx, but how does Dark Edit add any value to debugging? Are there functions in it that I am not aware of?

Thanks in advance.
