folks:
I'm a newbie to vimL/vim script.
I'm trying to define my own functions and keep getting errors.
Especially I hope there is a way to quickly get the value of my var -- a way better than
insert "echo var1|sleep 3" for every var that I want to inspect.
(I use it a lot, and I need that sleep to make sure I can see the output from
the screen)
google search mentioned Decho from some thread, but it looks last update is
from 4 years ago. I'd like to hear advice from experts before diving into it.
thanks

Hi ping,
I am no expert, but I started reading "learn vimscript the hard way" by Steve Losh, and
one of the first things he mentions is "echom".
After your function has executed you can still see the messages with the
:messages command.

:echom is a good technique, but Vim also has a built-in debugger.
See :help debug-mode
hi Ben:
that is good doc to read. thanks!
