Logging time (timestamp) without transmitting it
- Thread starter heneghan
- Start date
Joe, are you trying to timestamp the data received in the logfile, or create a logfile based on the time and date on the PC? Either way, I have some examples on the samples page of my site that should get you started.
Another user sent me this script:
in the past, but it only stamps every 60 seconds instead of every line.
To do what you want with every line, you would need to use the rget command (which causes data to not appear to the screen) to first get the line from the screen. You would then need to create the time stamp, probably using ltimeints or the $DATE and $TIME system variables. Finally, you would use strcat to combine the timestamp and the line, and then use fputs to write that to an open text file.

You could do something like the following, this only sends to the terminal window not the remote device and will be captured in the log file.
string DateString,TimeString,timestmp
proc main
ltimestrs $LTIME DateString TimeString
; Now concatenate the capture filename together
strcat timestmp DateString
strcat timestmp " "
strcat timestmp TimeString
termmsg "* %s *`r`n" timestmp
endproc

proc main
ltimestrs $LTIME DateString TimeString
; Now concatenate the capture filename together
strcat timestmp DateString
strcat timestmp " "
strcat timestmp TimeString
termmsg "* %s *`r`n" timestmp
endproc
