# OutputDebug

Sends a string to the debugger (if any) for display.

    OutputDebug, Text

## Parameters

Text

  The text to send to the debugger for display. This text may include linefeed characters (`n) to start new lines. In addition, a single long line can be broken up into several shorter ones by means of a continuation section.

## Remarks

If the script's process has no debugger, the system debugger displays the string. If the system debugger is not active, this command has no effect.

One example of a debugger is DebugView, which is free and available at microsoft.com.
