    Hi binith, as you are using JScript, you can extract the function name from the function arguments as described here. (you will need to scroll down a few posts to find the JScript examples)



    As far as I am aware, however, there is no way to obtain the file or project name.


     


    In the past, one the rare occasion I have wanted this information, I simply place the values in a global var in the Script Unit.

@Hugo Lalumiere , 

You can't, the fact you think you can is worrisome. A variable declared inside a procedure has scope only within that procedure. Besides, you already know what the values are, since you wrote them in the procedure to begin with.



:) I didnt quite get whats worrisome, most modern programming languages support extracting the function name from within a function , and after posting this question I have found out that I can do it from jscript using "arguments.callee.toString()" 



And my question is not about how to know the name of the function and file when I am writing it :) , for one file or one function,  its about knowing it at run time .
