Errors Handling

It is essential to know exactly what is wrong when a project or script execution fails. However, it is important to realize that it is dependent on the engine that processes the script:

Microsoft Script Control (embedded)
Editor highlights the line where the problem occured with the red color.
The cursor is positioned at the troubled syntax token.
The Script Errors list box at the bottom of the main window shows the description of the problem.
Clicking a line in the Script Errors list positions the cursor again.
Microsoft Script Control is not available for projects (*.wsf), but only for scripts (*.vbs, *.js, ...).

Windows Script Host - window based
The message box shows the description of the problem. The information contains line and column of the source code where the problem occured. Having this information use Find WSH Error function to locate the problem in either a project or a script.

Windows Script Host - command line based
The problem description is written to the console. Editor leaves the console (DOS-box) open on purpose for this. The information contains line and column of the source code where the problem occured. Having this information use Find WSH Error function to locate the problem in either a project or a script.
