show last line of a text file with name: $searchname

[pbecks1963 0]

Hello Y'all,

I have these logfiles that are named after the pc or the user that produced it. (for instance: John.log or PC123.log)

I need to make a script that will search through the olders containing these files and find the file called $searchname and display the last line of this textfile. So if i search for "John" it will find "John.log" and display the last line.

How do i do this?

Hi,

the code is working, if your log file exists only once in your folder structure.

expandcollapse popup

;Startfolder
$folder = "c:\autoit"
;Name to search for, e.g. john
$search = InputBox ("Searching for", "Name to search for: ")
;Recursiv search in $startfolder for $search.log files, return array with full path
$arfiles = _GetFilesFolder_Rekursiv ($folder, $search & ".log", 0)
If $arfiles [0] = 1 Then
    MsgBox (0, "Last Line of " & $arfiles [1], FileReadLine ($arfiles [1], -1))
Else
    MsgBox (0, "Log File for " & $search , "not found")
EndIf

Thanks man! works great for the pc log's but unfortunetly the user log's have different names. for instance:

".pbe.Beheer.MBO.NijmegenM.Helicon ( test user).log"

I would like to search for the user "pbe" (in this case) without having to know the rest of the search string (see below)

".Beheer.MBO.NijmegenM.Helicon ( test user).log"

So: what i am looking for is a text-file that starts with <dot>USERNAME<dot>

What do i change in the file?

Hi,

then try this (changes are only in main part):

#include <array.au3>
;Startfolder
$folder = "c:\autoit"
;Name to search for, e.g. john
$search = InputBox ("Searching for", "Name to search for: ")
;Recursiv search for all log files, return array with full path
$arfiles = _GetFilesFolder_Rekursiv ($folder, "log", 0)
$index = _ArraySearch ($arfiles, $search, 0, 0, 0, 1)
If $index <> - 1 Then
    MsgBox (0, "Last Line of " & $arfiles [$index], FileReadLine ($arfiles [$index], -1))
Else
    MsgBox (0, "Log File for " & $search , "not found")
EndIf
