Folding Code other than (if 1 = 1 then)

AppleScript
#1

Is there a way in Script Debugger v8 to do the following without the (if 1 = 1) wrapper and achieve code folding ??

if 1 =1 then
line of code 1
line of code 2
line of code 3
etc
end if

cheers

No, I don’t think so. Look in the ScriptDebugger help documentation and you’ll find this:

Code folding calls attention to the block structure of your code, and also permits you to collapse a block, hiding everything but its first line — thus saving space and helping you to view and understand the larger structure of your code.

You can fold blocks but not arbitrarily selected chunks of text.

Blocks are:

  • if then/ end if statements
  • repeat /end repeat loops
  • tell / end tell
  • handlers

Fudge ! Poop! Nutz !

You could use a try block.

try
    line of code 1
    line of code 2
    line of code 3
end

Now how come I never thought of that?
