| This is just something that sort of came to me offhand, but eventually, it might be useful to have a feature that'd allow you to have triggers to send things to separate files... similar, perhaps, to sending to a notepad, but just something that saves itself automatically. Or, for that matter, just taking two logs simultaneously in different formats--one with HTML and one without, say.
Inspired by trying to weed OOC conversations out of roleplay logs but having to manually edit and save them seperately in order to not lose anything OOC that might be needed at a later date. ;) | | Top |

| | You can do it currently, either with sending to notepad (and then saving the notepad at regular intervals) (which is a nice work around for if you arent comfortable with too much scripting), or you can use FSO to write directly to a file. |

| | 'FSO' by itself is beyond me, so you might want to not use too many acronyms. ;) Having to intentionally save and periodically erase notepad files defeats the purpose of scripting it; that's as time consuming, if not moreso, than what I'm doing now. | | Top |

| It's very easy:
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fto = fso.CreateTextFile(File, 2)
(Write to the file using a command i don't remember)
fto.close
done! |

| And you can save with triggers/timers/whatever. So you dont have to do it manually. It doesnt quite defeat the purpose of being time saving. You can also clear notepads via script, and get their lengths, and such.
However, FSO is well documented in the VBscipt help file (or rather, the Windows Scripting Host help file) which can be found... well, its ultimately on microsoft, but you can find a link to it on the page with all the script engine downloads (mushclient forum > list of all inbuilt script functions, then scroll down). It even gives examples, and shouldnt be too hard to copy/paste tweak from there. Well, plus the code Poromenos gave. |
