How to write log/txt file

[rvtienhoven]

Hi Bernd,

I want to create my 'custom' logfile. So, I want to write an rule to an .txt file with an command, so I can choose my own text.
Example:
27-7-2016 21:01:22 - Silence detection has detected an silence of 30 seconds.
27-7-2016 21:05:42 - Silence detection has detected noise again.
27-7-2016 21:06:24 - User Pietje has logged in
27-7-2016 21:50:24 - User Pietje has logged out.

I know that I can write text to an .txt file with the EXEC_WRITE_FILE command. But If I use it, it only stores the line and remove the earlier line. I want to store the new line in the .txt file, but not deleting the other content in the file. How could I do this?

So you can use any event in the system and then use the control-command "EXEC_WRITE_FILE".
E.g.:

Code: Select all

EXEC_WRITE_FILE C:\log\myFile.txt|au|${now} - Silence detection has detected an silence of 30 seconds.

Note: All commands as well as macros are fully listed in the User Manual Appendix.

Yes. But then, all text is saved to each other instead of one text for each line. I want that every single text has his own line, so the file is normal readable.
By the standard playlist logging, every track has its own line. That is what i want...

OKay, that was a too simple example, just add the carried return line feed macro to the end of you command, like this:

Code: Select all

EXEC_WRITE_FILE C:\log\myFile.txt|au|${now} - Silence detection has detected an silence of 30 seconds.${CRLF}

or like this

Code: Select all

EXEC_WRITE_FILE C:\log\myFile.txt|au|${now} - Silence detection has detected an silence of 30 seconds.\r\n
