Discovery of calling routine

[mvillion]

If I have a script and it calls a function, can the function know what script called it?
This would be very useful in debugging.

Hi,
You may use "executionContexts".

Please check "ExecutionContexts" in the dictionary, I think this is what you are looking for!

Hi

Close but not quite

Consider this

Code: Select all

on Command01
 put theFunction() into theAnswer
end Command01

on Command02
 put theFunction() into theAnswer
end Command2

function theFunction
 return ThisText
end function

Can 'thefunction' know who called it?

Hi mvillion,
What about executionContexts ?

Code: Select all

function theFunction
  put item -2 of line -2 of the executionContexts into tHandler
 return ThisText && tHandler
end function

Perfect. Thanks

You're welcome!
