So, the problem is as stated in the topic - I put some text in the postamble of the output lines (in logging preferences) - namely:
<font color="#000000">&lt!RL!%H:%M:%S:0&gt</font>

The font color is just to make it invisible for the reader, it's supposed to help with some real-time-log-reading application that my friend is developing.
However, the log produced has those time tags at start of the line, not at the end where I expected them to be. I played a bit and put the tags in preamble and got exactly the same result.

I can't reproduce this. I put text in the postamble and it appears at the end of the line. What version of MUSHclient are you using?

Noticed it on 3.66. But on the other computer, on 3.65, it seems the same.

I uploaded a screenshot of my logging settings:
http://show.imagehosting.us/showimg.php?file=nouser_477/T0_-1_477919.jpg&picid=477919&uid=0

The log of:

g
A cozy tent(s and n)
 An empty bottle [6]
 A wooden ballot box [1 vote]
 The board of Gondor's Vengeance [25 notes]
south
west
By a small campfire(se, s, sw, w, n and e)
 A piece of jerky
 A jute bag
 A flag
 An empty keg
 An empty bottle [4]

OK, this is HTML logging. What I think is happening is that the conversion that fixes up text from "straight" text into HTML (eg. > becomes &gt; ) is also converting the newline into <BR>.

So, what you are getting is:



(preamble) (line converted) <br> (postamble) (newline character)


When you view this in HTML it looks like the postamble is on a new line.

A couple of workarounds:


  • Put the time at the start of the line

  • Make a trigger to match every line and log them yourself with some scripting, to get it the exact way you want.

Ok, so I made this plugin for this, just wondering whether I didn't forget anything, so if you feel like wasting 5 mins of your life you could take a look at that and tell me if it's ok (including just the script not full plugin for obvious reasons).


function RealLog(tname, output, wilds)
{	
var LineNumber=GetLinesInBufferCount();
var LineText="";
var StyleText="";
var style=0;
var styles=0;
styles=GetLineInfo (LineNumber, 11);
for (style = 1; style<=styles; style++)
{
StyleText = '<font color="' + RGBColourToName(GetStyleInfo (LineNumber, style, 14)) + '">';
StyleText += GetStyleInfo (LineNumber, style, 1)
if (GetStyleInfo (LineNumber, style, 9))
{
StyleText = "<u>" + StyleText + "</u>"
}
LineText += StyleText;
}
var d, RL='<font color="#000000">&lt!RL!';
var c = ":";
d=new Date();
RL += d.getHours() + c;
RL += d.getMinutes() + c;
RL += d.getSeconds() + c;
RL += d.getMilliseconds();
RL += "&gt";
WriteLog (LineText + " " + RL);
}
