I've never used the console output. Generally I just
use error trapping and show a msgbox at the end: "Done."
For instance, if a script expects a dropped file then if there
is no drop then I'll show an inputbox or a message.
For scripts that I'm going to use more than once I try
to make them robust in that way. I check whether files
exist, I confirm math operations... then at the end I add
On Error Resume Next. So I don't really need to monitor
anything. That's done when writing the script. Much of the
point is to be able to just double-click or drop and have
the details taken care of. It shouldn't need console output.
For more complicated things I'll do as Paul described, using
numbered errors. But that's mostly in compiled software,
where I'm using 3rd-party libraries that might return errors,
which I might want to be able to troubleshoot. But even then,
there shouldn't be errors or weaknesses in my own code. If
I put up an inputbox for a file path, that path should exist.
If I put up an inputbox for a number, that should pass
IsNumeric.
If I want a report then I put that in the script. for instance,
my file copy script generates a text file listing what was
copied.
What kinds of things do you do that need console reporting
mid-script?
