remove date & time

[Ese]

Howdy

i was wondering if there is a way to remove the date and time from a log.

i wrote a very simple script that checks for the exsistance of a font, it looks like this:

#include <file.au3>

if FileExists ( "c:\windows\fonts\oron.ttf" ) Then

_FileWriteLog ("c:\font.log", @ComputerName)

EndIf

and in the log i get:

2007-08-30 22:43:44 : C193R-9

any chance to get rid of the date and time that the script automaticaly puts there?

cheers

Use FileWriteLine ( filehandle or "filename", "line" )

[jacob_1998_1999]

#include <file.au3>

if FileExists ( "c:\windows\fonts\oron.ttf" ) Then
_FileWriteToLine("c:\font.log", 0, @ComputerName, 0)
EndIf

perhaps.

_FileWriteToLine is fine if hes tracking the current line number but a log just appends to whats already there.

not sure i understand you

do you mean i should use the _filecreate command then the fileopen

and then the filewriteline and put the @computername value to a line so it wont automaticaly put the date?

another Q please..

if i need to run this command on more the one computer at the same time and i need only one log file

will it add lines to the script with the @computername or will it replace the file everytime the scpript runs

cheers

This code will overwrite the same line in the same file every time it is run:

#include 

if FileExists ( "c:\windows\fonts\oron.ttf" ) Then
_FileWriteToLine("c:\font.log", 0, @ComputerName, 0)
EndIf

If thats not your intent you use _FileWriteLine("c:\font.log",@ComputerName)

Thanks for the help m8

none of them creates the file

it doesnt work

[Ese]

oh it's working well like this:

$file = FileOpen("c:\font.txt", 1)

If $file = -1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")

Exit

EndIf

FileWriteLine($file, @ComputerName)

FileClose($file)

i'm going to test it, but do you know maybe if i'll distribute it with SMS2003 to lets say 3000 clients, will there be a problem for the clients to get to the logfile at the same time if they do?

I was under the impression that it would append indefinitely.

#include <File.au3>

_FileWriteToLine ( $sFile, $iLine, $sText [, $fOverWrite] )

Parameters

$sFile The file to write to

$iLine The line number to write to

$sText The text to write

$fOverWrite if set to 1 will overwrite the old line

if set to 0 will not overwrite

;Example: Write to line 3 of c:\test.txt NOT REPLACING line 3

_FileWriteToLine("c:\test.txt", 3, "my insertion", 0)

Sorry for the misunderstanding if I am mistaken.
