name of var passed to func

 [1/9] from: mikew127::hotmail::com at: 2-Dec-2000 14:44


I'm trying to set a quick debug function that I can throw in where ever I'm having trouble. first I have this:
>> x: 5
== 5
>> print join 'x join " = " x
x = 5 then I wrote:
>> debug: func [a b] [print join a join " = " b] >> debug 'x x
x = 5 All well and good but the key word here is quick and I type slow. What I want is: debug x I write:
>> debug: func [a] [print join 'a join " = " a] >> debug x
a = 5 How do I get 'x out of a? This may not seem like much until you see the difference between: debug some_really_long_variable_name and debug 'some_really_long_variable_name some_really_long_variable_name -bobo _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Ladislav- I gave that a try and got:
>> x: 5
== 5
>> debug: func [a] [print join a join " = " get a] >> debug x
** Script Error: get expected word argument of type: any-word. ** Where: print join a join " = " -bob

If just want a quick debug function have you explored using the ?? function
>> a: 4
== 4
>> ?? a
== a: 4
>> b: "hello"
== "hello"
>> ?? b
b: "hello" Cheers Allen K

Let me add this one ...
>> x: 5
== 5
>> ?? 5
(integer): 5 == 5
>> ?? x
x (integer): 5 == 5
>> source ??
??: func [ { Prints a variable name followed by its type and molded value. (for debugging) *PATCHED* (iho) added type output } 'name ][ print either word? :name [ either value? name [ rejoin [name " (" type? get name "): " mold name: get name] ] [ rejoin [name " (no value)"] ] ] [ rejoin ["(" type? :name "): " mold :name] ] :name ]
>>
hope that helps, Ingo Once upon a time Andrew Martin spoketh thus:
