Print function for debug output

In the Advanced pre-search relations and Advanced post-search relations sections, you can use the Print function to print information about certain properties of the formulated hypotheses.

Print function syntax

The Print function has the following format:

Void Print( String text )

String formatting functions

The FlexiLayout language has global functions that create string representations of various types and print debugging information. For more information, see Global functions. The global Chr( Int char ) function returns a string representation of a character by its Unicode code. Use it to format printed lines with tab characters, carriage returns, and so on.

Print function examples

Examples of calling the Print function:

Print: Str( Group1.Item1.Width );
Print: "Is Item1 Null ? - " + Str( Group1.Item1.IsNull );
Print: "Calculate formula: ( 5 * 18 );" + Chr( 13 ) +Chr( 10 ) + "Result is: " + Str( 5 * 18 ) + Chr( 9 ) + "// example";
Print: Str( Group1.Item1.Rect );

Debug output location

Calling the Print function several times in a row in one of the Advanced… sections will print text consisting of several lines. The text will be printed in the Properties window of the active hypothesis in the Pre-search print and Post-search print properties.
