Why wont my FileWrite work?

[huldu]

Hi

Im having problems with FileWrite to work in my script, sometimes i get it to work one time, then it stops work. Its so random, just no idea whats wrong.

The idea behind this script (will be GUI when im done), is to check if your connection is working. Everytime connection drops, it will log the time when it dropped, and log the time when the connection was resumed again.

The script works fairly well atm, just that the FileWrite isnt working too well.

Hope someone can help me clear this mess out

shouldn't this:

$file = FileOpen(@scriptdir & "log.txt", 1)

be

$file = FileOpen(@scriptdir & "\log.txt", 1)

?

I tried using the \ but had the same result, so i never did anything about it. Again i added the \ but its the same thing, just wont work.

Just did some more testing and this is what i found out sofar.

The info ONLY writes to log when i exit the script!. Why is it this way? it wont save anything during the run of the script!

ok... you don't close the file after writing so you cannot use the file till you do so,...

Just skip the fileopen and change the filewrite to use the filename ...

Thanks!

I changed the FileWrite thing to FileWrite(@scriptdir & "\log.txt") and now it writes to file in realtime.
