Making Automatic Copies of Log Files in TeraTerm

[sob_l]

Hi all,

I have been working on some automatic logging of some wireless devices using TeraTerm. I'm basically pinging a few satellites in a mesh network system and detecting when the ping drops, using a batch script. Whenever it drops, I open a TeraTerm window, connect it to Telnet, send some commands, and save the outputs of those commands to a log text file. However, my script is currently overwriting the previous log file every time ping fails (i.e. every time I trigger the TeraTerm macro). I want to know if there is a way, possibly using TeraTerm syntax, for me to check if a log file with a certain name "log.txt" already exists, then generate a new log file, say "log-1.txt", "log-2.txt", etc. if it does, so that I don't overwrite the results of each trial. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

You might had asking in the wrong forum though..

Btw, try this:

filepath = YourFilePathHere
strconcat filepath '\log_1.txt' ;new log will be start as Log_1.txt


;search if logs exists. If yes, new log will be added numbering suffix
filesearch filepath                                            
if result=1 then
   i=1
   do
     filepath=logpath
     i=i+1
     int2str suffix i
     strconcat filepath '\log_'
     strconcat filepath suffix
     strconcat filepath '.txt'
     filesearch filepath 
   loop while result=1
endif
