FileWriteLog $iFlag and more

[Seminko]

Hey fellas,

First Issue:

I have a script that logs certain things. I have a Terminate (exit) function that should log certain variable summaries into the log file before it exits the script. This works fine.

But I cannot for the love of god set it up so the final summary appears at top of the log file even though I use it correctly (checked the forums).

I use:

_FileWriteLog($hFile, $Check & " Checks done", 1)

Despite the " 1 ", the log appears as any other log entry --> at the end of the log file.

 

Second Issue:
Well it is not really an issue but rather a question. Is _FileWriteLog able to create a log file? Let's say everytime I start my script it would create a file called: "$VariableName date and time.txt". Is there a way to do this?

 

Thank you

I can't say for sure, but it appears that if you open the file using FileOpen and using the 1 parameter, append mode, it is setting the file read pointer to the end of the file. Even using FileSetPos to set the pointer to the start of the file won't fix it. The ONLY way to get _FileWriteLog to write to the start of the log file is by using the file's path and name, using a file handle confuses it.

Thanks, that works!
