You can place debugger statements anywhere in procedures to suspend execution. Using the debugger statement is similar to setting a breakpoint in the code.
The debugger statement suspends execution, but it does not close any files or clear any variables.
Note
The debugger statement has no effect unless the script is being debugged.
Example
This example uses the debugger statement to suspend execution for each iteration through the for loop.
Note
To run this example, you must have a script debugger installed and the script must run in debug mode. For more information, search MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com) for the title "Introducing Microsoft Script Debugger".
Copy Code
for(i = 1; i<5; i++) {
// Print i to the Output window.
Debug.write("loop index is " + i);
// Wait for user to resume.
debugger
}
