Having trouble using FileOpen

I want my script write to a log file. I'm using the following code:

#include <File.au3>

    Local $LogFile = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "logfilename.log", 1)
    _FileWriteLog($LogFile, "Script started")
    FileClose($LogFile)

The result is as follows:

1. I have an empty file at @ScriptDirlogfilename.log

2. The actual logging is going to a file called "1" in the same directory

This seems like it should be so simple - what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Holly

Either use:

Local $LogFile = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\logfilename.log", 1)
FileWriteLine($LogFile, "Script started")
FileClose($LogFile)

or

#include <File.au3>
_FileWriteLog(@ScriptDir & "\logfilename.log", "Script started")

Thanks.

I kept fiddling after I posted and also came up with this:

    Local $LogFile = (@ScriptDir & "logfilename.log")
    FileOpen($LogFile, 1)
    _FileWriteLog($LogFile, "Script started")
    FileClose($LogFile)
 

I based my first attempt on Example 1 from here:

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_FileWriteLog.htm

So I'm not sure why it didn't work. But I'm happy to have something that does work, so no problem. Thanks again.
