trap16 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) Hello, Maybe an unappropriate question, but i did not find any hint about that behavior of the function FileWriteLine. You will find below the layer I use to manage my loging files. The issue is that when I stop my script and look into logs I often see things like that : 10/03/2010 17:38:27 : LOG : Test 11 10/03/2010 17:39:58 : LOG : Success 10/03/2010 17:41:21 : LOG : Success 10/03/2010 17:42:54 : LOG : Success 10/03/2010 17:44:30 : LOG : Success 10/03/2010 17:46:03 : LOG : Success 10/03/2010 17:47:26 : LOG : Success 10/03/2010 17:49:13 : WARN : Failure 10/03/2010 17:51:04 : LOG : Success 10/03/ As you see, the last line seems truncated, which let me think that this is a flushing issue, I'm using Windows Seven 64bit. Did I miss something, any hint to have complete logs ?

jchd Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Please use code or autoit markups to insert code next time. In short, yes you need to FileFlush if you need committment to disk. Not only the OS cache, but also the HD cache can delay disk writes. Recently someone found with his own logging system that the HD cache could delay for far more than one second. His system was crashing at the hardware level and that's why the tail of his files were truncated. OTOH, I don't see why you should see truncated files in your case if your system/hardware reamains stable and functional. In my view, FileWriteLine does nothing special hat could prevent tail file writes. This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available).

trap16 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Thanks for for quick reply and the advice, I edited my post to add code marker, sorry for the inconvenience. Maybe I'm missing something, but i do not see any function who can commit file buffer to disk. Can anyone give me a hint ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trap16 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) Many Thanks, Using FileFlush() lead to expected logger behavior. And me bad ... was still not using autoit release which implement that function, that's why i didn't find this in the manual.
