2. Description

Quick access: Toolbox > Primitives > WriteLine

This activity outputs specified text when executed from akaBot Studio. The output will appear in either the Output Panel or a text file but will not be written to the log file. It is primarily used for outputting debug messages or confirming execution results.

Note: Verified operation on akaBot Studio versions 2.2.0.5. Some wording or behavior may vary depending on the version.

3. Property

Property item	Property name	Input field	Description
Other	Text	Enter Value (String Type)	Specifies the text to be output. You can also specify variables and concatenate strings using "+" or "&". When specifying a non-String type, conversion to String type is required.
	Text Writer	Enter Value (System.IO.TextWriter Type)	If unspecified, the output will be directed to the Output panel. When specified, it outputs to a text file. In this case, it’s necessary to close the StreamWriter after output.
	Public	Checkbox	Activity variables and arguments are recorded in the log file and pushed to the Center. (For details, refer to “Public Property Settings.”)
	Display name	Enter a value (String type)	Reflects the activity name in the designer panel.

4. Usage

To output text to the output panel, drag and drop the Write Line activity from the toolbox to the designer panel under Primitives > Write Line.

For the Write Line activity you placed, enter the text you want to output into the Text box within the activity. You can also enter it via the Properties panel under Other > Text.

For example, input "This will be output to the console.". In this case, the string is directly specified using double quotes. You can also specify a variable instead of a string. If you want to use a variable of a type other than String, you need to convert it to String (refer to Data Type Conversion). You can also concatenate strings using + or & (refer to String Operations).

Click on Home > Start, or press the F5 key to run the workflow. This will execute the process and display the output.

The specified text has been displayed in the output panel. In this example, the message "This will be output to the console." appears as expected.
