That works fine...thx. debugging code just became a whole lot easier

[d.j.peters]

Code:

#define DEBUG
#ifdef DEBUG
#  define dprint(msg) open err for output as #24:print #24,"debug: ";msg:close #24
#else
#  define dprint(msg):
#endif

dprint("any debug messages")

If you have for example 100 Lines of debug messages in your code and all works you must remove it all for a final version.

only remove the first line #define DEBUG and all dprint() calls are removed from your code without to do it manualy.

Try it out and have fun.
