immediate flush of scrollback buffer to file

[gam4939]

looking for method to force immediate flush of scrollback
buffer to file
"scrollback file "myfile" append" seems to be very sporadic
as to exact time of when data is actually sent to file.

would greatly appreciate any help.

If you use the "clear" command, that should send the current screen into the scrollback buffer I believe.

I've had similar hassles....
My problem was more that the script OFTEN generated MORE than the scrollbackbuffer holds.

My WORK-AROUND was....

string My_File = "Filename.txt"	
string Cap_Path = "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Procomm Plus\Capture\"

;capture screen buffer to file
set capture path Cap_Path
set capture file My_File    
set capture overwrite ON

clear  ; start with clean screen

capture on                 ; Open up the capture file.

capture off	;close capture file
