Seminko Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 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. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
