File Menu

To clear output from the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer, perform one of the following actions

Select the Clear display command from the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer File menu.
Call the Application class clearWriteWindow method.

All output displayed in the window is then cleared.

To save the contents of the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer

Select the Save As command from the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer File menu.

The common Set Save As File Name dialog is then displayed, to enable you to specify the location and name of the log file to which the contents are saved.

To set the capture file

Select the Set capture file command from the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer File menu.

The common Set Capture File Name dialog is then displayed, to enable you to specify the location and name of your output file. By default, the output is directed to the jadeout.log file in your JADE log directory. If the capture file name does not include an absolute path, the directory is in the logs path.

You can view the output file by using a text editor; such as Notepad. (The output file is cumulative; that is, records are appended to any existing records in the output file.)

When you change the name of the capture file when capture to a file is set, all future write instructions and traced methods are output to this file, including write instructions and traced methods in your current session.

To delete the capture file

Select the Delete capture file command from the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer File menu.

The capture file (defaulting to jadeout.log in your JADE log directory) is then deleted.

In the Enter text to add to output text box, specify the text that you want to annotate to the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer.
Click the OK button. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your text.

The text that you specify is then displayed in the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer window (and written to the log file, if you have set capture to file). For example, you could add the following comment.

To print the output of the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer

Select the Print command from the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer File menu. The common Print dialog is then displayed, to enable you to specify your print options; for example, the printer name and the number of copies.
If text is selected in the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer, the Selection option button on the Print dialog is enabled.

You can select the All or the Selection option button. The All option results in the entire current contents of the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer being printed. The Selection option results in only the selected text being printed.
Make the selections that you require.
Click the OK button. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.

Any changes that you make to the printer options are retained for subsequent reuse, apart from the number of copies selected, which is reset to 1.

Each page of the printed output has a heading of Jade Interpreter Output Viewer – path=database-path and a footer of Page: n of mdate time.

Long lines are split into multiple lines so that the entire line of text is visible on the printed output.

To change your Jade Interpreter Output View printer settings

Select the Print Setup command from the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer File menu. The common Print Setup dialog is then displayed. By default, printing is performed on the default printer using the default paper size and orientation that is set up for your system. Use the print set‑up to change your printer settings.

The Print Setup command uses common dialogs that enable you to specify advanced print options and printer connection options. For details, see your Microsoft Windows User’s Guide.
Make the selections that you require.
Click the OK button. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon the setting up of your print output.

The print setup dialogs and the options that these dialogs provide are printer-dependent and cannot be controlled from within JADE.
