----------------------------------- _justin_ Mon Mar 06, 2006 4:46 pm Recorded info ----------------------------------- Hey all so i finally got my turiing program to record info and such var log, connections : int open : log, "logs.txt", write open : connections, "connections.txt", write i have that written at the begining of my program 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 write : log, clientNick, text after each time they send the info to the server 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 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 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 ----------------------------------- _justin_ Mon Mar 06, 2006 5:42 pm ----------------------------------- sry i couldn't find the edit button k but now i kinda fixed it up now i ahve te logs.txt file looking like this though this is a test soon i will have 5 other users in here think you can handle it ? in here yea k you can handle it ? in here exit you can handle it ? in here as you notice it jsut copies every thing and replaces the soon i will have 5 other users in here think you can handle it ? in here yea k you can handle it ? in here exit you can handle it ? in here[/b] ----------------------------------- Clayton Mon Mar 06, 2006 5:50 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Mon Mar 06, 2006 6:52 pm ----------------------------------- sry i couldn't find the edit button k but now i kinda fixed it up now i ahve te logs.txt file looking like this though this is a test soon i will have 5 other users in here think you can handle it ? in here yea k you can handle it ? in here exit you can handle it ? in here as you notice it jsut copies every thing and replaces the soon i will have 5 other users in here think you can handle it ? in here yea k you can handle it ? in here exit you can handle it ? in here 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 ----------------------------------- _justin_ Mon Mar 06, 2006 9:21 pm ----------------------------------- Ack now that i re-read it it doesnt really make much sense to me sry i couldn't find the edit button k but now i kinda fixed it up now i have the logs.txt file looking like this but as you notice it just copieswhatever was written before and tries to write over it soon i will have 5 other users in here think you can handle it ? in here 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 ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Tue Mar 07, 2006 11:47 pm ----------------------------------- try to use "put : fileNo, text" instead of write.
