Logging info and Folders
|
I've been wanting to set up a way to autolog my gaming sessions with dates and such (not a hard thing to do at all), but the thing i'm having a problem with is the fact that I play more then one character during a day sometimes, and they all log to the same file. What I would LIKE to be able to do, is to save each characters logs into a dif dirrectory. Is this possible to do, and if so does anyone have any suggestions on what i should try?
Example: I log on with Bob, the warrior and the auto log kicks in "Appending to log: December 10, Tue 2002.txt" After an hour or so, i get bored and log off, then log back in later that day as Tim the Wizard "Appending to log: December 10, Tue 2002.txt". The problem is that both are appending to the same log file, which works, I suppose, but I would rather them be saved into their own folders. Ie: I log on with bob and it saves to a folder called Bob, I log on with Tim and it logs to a folder called Tim.
In short, is there a way to set a log file to be saved to another folder OTHER then the default zmud root folder? |

Why don't you include the name of the character into the filename too using the %char pre-defined variable?

that would work as well, but it still ends up with the root folder being clogged up with a ton of logs after a while. Part of the reason i wanted to have them re-directed into folders was to keep things nice and orginized for when i need quick ref on something i might be looking for.
If no one has any suggestions, or there isnt a way to do it, then i'll end up using %char, but hopefully... :) |

Oh, that's no problem too. Just specify the path when using the #LOG command.

#LOG {%concat(%char,"",%time("mm-dd-yy"),".txt")}
That should do it for you. Obviously you can change the format of %time if you want. |

Thanks Kjata/Vijilante.
With a combination of your two posts, plus slight tinkering, i was able to get exactly what i was looking for, which is the following in case anyone is wondering...
#LOG C:Games"Zmud Logs"%concat( %char, "-", %time( "mm-dd-yy"), ".txt") |
