Okay, here's another one.

I figured out (thanks to this post) how to automate my log dividing into smaller parts (through the timetags in the filename), but still I manage to get files as big as 4megs or so (which is way too big).

So I made a timer that simply does a CloseLog and an OpenLog. It works fine, but it doesn't throw in the HTML start and end tags (i'm logging in .html).

My question is, how can I get those tags into the log?

Awesome, I didn't realise that it'd be as simple as setting tags to the filename! Magnificent!

It worked for me when I pasted it into the Timers configuration. The instructions in the "how to paste" page are for triggers not timers. If you follow those literally you will see the message:


Line    1: Tag not used: <timers> ()


You need to switch to the Timers part of world configuration, not the Triggers part. The instructions given showed triggers as an example.

In case this helps anyone, this is what I use to log unique files every time.

logging = function (mode)
  if (mode == "on") then
    local logname = GetInfo (66) .. [[logs\Trevize ]] .. os.date("%d-%m-%y ")
                   .. string.format ("%08i",math.random (1, 99999999)) .. ".html"
    OpenLog (logname)
    WriteLog ("<html>")
    WriteLog ("<head>")
    WriteLog ("<title>MUSHclient Log - Trevize Moonflair</title>")
    WriteLog ("</head>")
    WriteLog ("<body>")
    WriteLog ('<table border=0 cellpadding=5 bgcolor="#000000">')
    WriteLog ("<tr><td>")
    WriteLog ('<pre><code><font size=2 face="FixedSys, Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier">')
    Note ("Logging to " .. logname)
  else
    if IsLogOpen() then
      Note ("Stopped logging")
      WriteLog ("</font></code></pre>")
      WriteLog ("</td></tr></table>")
      WriteLog ("</body>")
      WriteLog ("</html>")
      CloseLog ()
    end -- if
  end -- if
end -- func


I just have a ^log (on|off)$ alias that calls logging (string.lower("%1")).

What you can do is add a timer like this:


<timers>
  <timer 
    name="Reopen_Log" 
    enabled="y" 
    hour="1"  
    send_to="12"
>
  <send>

CloseLog ()
OpenLog ("", true)

</send>

  </timer>
</timers>


Template:pasting For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.


That will close and re-open the log every hour (if you are connected). Thus, it will tick over at midnight (or sometime in the next hour afterwards), closing the current log file and opening a new one. It will use the current log file string if you supply an empty string to OpenLog, and thus it will respect the date/time codes in it. During the day it will append to the existing log file, so you won't get lots of different files in one day.

Oh and that string you suggested, Nick, this would need me to manually reconnect, yes? I have a staff bit on one MUSH and well, I never disconnect with him :P

There are other things you can put in the log file name, such as the world name. See:

http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?dialog=IDD_PREFS_P4

You could make each world have its own subdirectory, however it won't create the subdirectory for you. You would have to manually make a subdirectory per world, and then the logs for that world could go in it. eg.


C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\logs\%N\%d.%b.%y_world_log.txt


The %N would be expanded to the current world name.

I have Game -> Configure -> Logging configured to log to this file:

C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\logs\%d.%b.%y_Command_Window.html

This creates a file with the name:

C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\logs\31.Aug.09_Command_Window.html

So each time MUSH is started the log is appended of or a new one created with current date and time.

For my chat window I have to manually select Log Session from the file menu each time I start MUSH, I think this is because MUSH starts logging on world connect.

I don't think the you really need to script this MUSH will write the log file with the date for each day.

Here is a picture of my log dialog:
