Console Autohotkey

[Alessandro]

Hi , I am Alessandro and I would to create a console log to print on screen any errors . How can I do this ? Is there any functions or library to include?

Yes that should be possible.

Depends on your definition of console. If you mean the dos command prompt/window you can have a look at these two libraries:
https://github.com/ahkscript/awesome-AutoHotkey#console
or use ConsoleSend() https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/25446-consolesend/

Otherwise you can just create a GUI with an edit control and "send" data to it. If you want to do "more" like displaying the contents of arrays and have pretty colours you can have a look at this "console"
https://github.com/AfterLemon/Class_Console and a fork https://github.com/hi5/Class_Console (adds: Escape <> HTML tags and colors for objects/arrays)

Here is a tutorial for writing cmd line apps https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=37722

i also like to print to console, or log file very much. but i also like to print som importand errors to the screen as massaage. i like to use this: https://github.com/sl5net/global-Intell ... c.ahk#L990

I want to include my script in a sequence of batch tests, so I must to record or to log the stdout of the execution of every batch
I see the solution from ConsoleSend() but I'm not been able to run it . Does anyone has a solutions that run on Windows terminal OS ?

There are some other ideas here, including a simple script by me.
