Recording Command Sequences for Later Playback

The property record command is useful if you want to save debugger command sequences for reuse at another time. It records all commands whether they are invoked from menus, command buttons, or from the debugger command input box. The syntax is:

property record {pathname [-append -replace]

-on

-off

}

The pathname argument speci￿es the command ￿le where the command sequences will be stored. You can add or delete entries in the command ￿le with a text editor.

The -onand -offarguments start and stop recording. After specifying pathname when you ￿rst start recording, you need not specify it every time you start and stop. Only enter pathname again when you want to change to a di￿erent command ￿le.

The -appendand -replacearguments specify whether to add to, or to overwrite an existing command ￿le.

You can invoke the commands in a command ￿le by using the input operator (<pathname) or the input command (input -from pathname). See \Redirecting Input and Output" for more information.

For more information about the property record command, see the online command reference.
