Livecode Builder -how t write to a file?

[zryip theSlug]

Dear Matthias,

I do not have the answer but a possible workaround.

For debugging purposes I'm using the post message.

In LCB add this handler:
private handler throwWidgetError(in pError as String) returns nothing
   post "catchWidgetError" with [pError]
end handler

Call it by using:
throwWidgetError("Something to log")

And catch it by adding this handler into the card script where you test
your widget:

*command* catchWidgetError pTheError
*   put* pTheError & cr after msg
*end* catchWidgetError

This might be verbose as the message box will take the focus, and the
widget will refresh, so logging in a file instead of the message box would
be a possibility.

*command* catchWidgetError pTheError
*   write *pTheError to file "xxx"
*end* catchWidgetError
