VSDebugPro

export (Export Symbol Command)

Description

The export command in VSDebugPro evaluates and saves to a file the value of a symbol or expression in the current debug context. It’s a versatile tool for quick inspection of complex objects during a debugging session.
It is similar with the print command, but it outputs data to a file instead of printing to console.

Syntax

export [options] <filename> <expression>

Parameters

• [options]: Optional flags to modify the command behavior.
  • -f: Force overwrite if the output file already exists.
  • -a: Append to the file if it already exists.
  • -j: Serialize to json format.
• <filename>: The name of the file where the expanded expression will be saved.
• <expression>: The symbol or expression to evaluate and export.

Usage Examples

1. Export a simple variable:

    export myVar.txt myVariable
   

2. Force overwrite an existing file:

   export -f existingFile.txt myExpression
   

3. Append to an existing file:

   export -a logFile.txt newData
   

4. Export the result of an expression:

    export result.txt (ptr->value * 100 + offset)
