Skips and Breakpoints


  A Skip step is one that is ignored by vTask during a run. Execution continues with the next step that is not skipped. If a command is marked as skipped, all of the command's data remains the same. You can highlight multiple lines and skip them (or un-skip them) all at once. The skip toolbar button toggles them on and off.

Labels that are skipped are not used as destinations for GOTO or On Failure.

Skips are most useful when you want to comment out a line or multiple lines to test or troubleshoot a file.

  The Breakpoint flag indicates that execution will stop at the line that is marked. Breakpoints work well for running a file up to a certain point. They can also be used to establish a certain configuration before continuing with the rest of a command file. You may have multiple breakpoints in a single command file.

Use the Step - Remove all Skips / Breakpoints menu item (Shift F8 / F9) to remove all skips or breakpoints in the entire file:
