Good afternoon.

Is there a way to set up markers within Log Files created to a recording?

Thanks

Great question JBreslaw.

Reading a log file from a previous test run can be somewhat tedious especially when it is a lengthy playback.

A good practice to perform when making lengthy recordings is to put a note -- a comment within the script to identify what is actually happening in the script.

(1) Record your script as you would normally.

(2) Identify each segment of your script by inserting the "Note" command.

Syntax: Note "Comments"

e.g.

Note "Beginning of the script at yahoo.com" InitLink "http://www.yahoo.com"

Note "Follows a link to microsoft.com"

FollowLink "" "http://www.microsoft.com" ...
