Log file?

Is it possible to output the current machine position into a log file every time a certain M code is ran?
So every time the M code is called it just adds X_ _ Y_ _ X_ _ into the log file.
I think something like this would be great for debugging some VB code.

YES


Open"C:/Mach3/DebugLOG.txt" For Append As #1
Print #1,"X: " & GetDro(0)  &"  Y: " & GetDro(1)  &"  Z: "  & GetDro(2)
Close#1
END

Thanks BR549, that works great, just on another note.
Is it possible to trim to 4 decimal places rather than 13?

Try This

Open"C:/Mach3/DebugLOG.txt" For Append As #1
Print #1,"X: " & Format(GetDro(0),"0000.0000")   &"  Y: " & Format(GetDro(1),"0000.0000")  &"  Z: "  & Format(GetDro(2),"0000.0000")
Close#1
