When I try opening my log files in MUSHClient, I get a message saying "The file is too large to open".

So I try to open it through Notepad and Wordpad, going to the specific directory C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\logs; unfortunately, I fail to see any files in that folder, even though all my log files are of *.txt document type and I can see them when I open that specific folder in MUSHClient.

I've used search on this site but haven't found information pertaining to this problem.

I'd really like to know how I can open and view my log files.

Many thanks in advance.

They just can't be where you think they are. Try doing this with a log file open:


/print (GetInfo (51))


That will show the log file pathname. You may need to enable "/" as the scripting prefix in the scripting configuration tab.

Perhaps there is another logs directory under My Documents or some such thing.

If the file name displayed starts with "./" then it is a relative path, and you will need to find the working directory (GetInfo (68))

Failing that working, try using the Search function in Windows, putting in part of the log file name.

I managed to open my world file in the end, like this:

1) Open log folder in MushClient.

2) Open a blank tab in Internet Explorer.

3) Click and drag desired file to Internet Explorer.

It works this way. :)
