Hey all

so i finally got my turiing program to record info and such

code:
var log, connections : int
open : log, "logs.txt", write
open : connections, "connections.txt", write


i have that written at the begining of my program

code:
write : connections, clientAddress


and i have that so that everytime some one connects to my server it writes it down in a .txt file

so then i though i'd be able to record all the text and stuff that people are typing by using a

code:
write : log, clientNick, text


after each time they send the info to the server

code:
   put "Ip Address: ", clientAddr (clientPort)
            put "User- ", clientNick (clientPort), " says: ", text
            write : log, clientNick, text


so i though that would work but for soem reason when i go to open the .txt file it is like 500 mb big after like 5 mins of only 3 users in the chat

and all that shows up in the log.txt is


Quote:
Admin justin € € € € € € € € € € € € € €


and the €'s just keep going on and on

so if you can help that would be awesome

btw here is the loop were the write statement is located

code:
loop
        waitForChar (incomingConnection (clientPort))
        get : incomingConnection (clientPort), text : *
        if text not= "exit" then
            put "Ip Address: ", clientAddr (clientPort)
            put "User- ", clientNick (clientPort), " says: ", text
            write : log, clientNick, text
            put  "_____________________________________________"
            relayText (clientPort)
        elsif text = "exit" then
            put "Ip Address: ", clientAddr (clientPort)
            put "User: ", clientNick (clientPort), " has exited."
            relayServerMessage (clientPort, exitText)
            Net.CloseConnection (incomingConnection (clientPort))
            incomingConnection (clientPort) := 0
        end if
        exit when text = "exit"

    end loop

just so you know, your obviously new here, but there is no edit button in the help forum, but anyway how long have you been programming? a chat program is pretty cool, but i dont know where that in here is coming from, its an interesting problem

What are you trying to say? I dont understand, speak using full forms of words and proper grammar, really hard to make out what you are saying

as you notice it just copieswhatever was written before and tries to write over it

yea k you can handle it ? in here
exit you can handle it ? in here



so basicly i want the log file to just list the username then what they said
for example

"Justin - hello, world"
"John Doe - Hello,world"
"Jane Doe- Hello, world"


hope that clears things up if not just tell me and i'll try again

try to use "put : fileNo, text" instead of write.
