 |
|
Im trying to log all messages received via a UDP connection to a log file in a VDS application. So far I have been unable to figure it out. Below is a snippet of the code the im using.
| Code: | :UDP-SERVER1ONMESSAGE
%A = @INTERNET(udp-server,message,1)
list add,list1,@DATETIME(h:nn:ss)@TAB()@TAB()@DATETIME(mmm d yyyy)@TAB()@TAB()%A
binfile open,4,C:\test\log.txt
binfile write,4,text,%A
BINFILE CLOSE,4
goto evloop |
Can somebody tell me what im doing wrong?
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Nevermind. I figured it out.
To keep thread integrity however here is what I ended up doing.
| Code: | :UDP-SERVER1ONMESSAGE
%A = @INTERNET(udp-server,message,1)
list add,list1,@DATETIME(h:nn:ss)@TAB()@TAB()@DATETIME(mmm d yyyy)@TAB()@TAB()%A
BINFILE OPEN,4,C:\SSyslog\log.txt,APPEND
BINFILE WRITE,4,TEXT,@DATETIME(h:nn:ss)@TAB()@TAB()@DATETIME(mmm d yyyy)@TAB()@TAB()%A
BINFILE CLOSE,4
goto evloop |

Hi Webdaddy, welcome at VDSWORLD... 
The way you did it, does work, but it's better to create a logfile with the list command:
| Code: | :UDP-SERVER1ONMESSAGE
%A = @INTERNET(udp-server,message,1)
list add,list1,@DATETIME(h:nn:ss)@TAB()@TAB()@DATETIME(mmm d yyyy)@TAB()@TAB()%A
list create,30
list loadfile,30,C:\SSyslog\log.txt
list add,30,@DATETIME(h:nn:ss)@TAB()@TAB()@DATETIME(mmm d yyyy)@TAB()@TAB()%A
list savefile,30,C:\SSyslog\log.txt
list close,30
goto Evloop |
Btw. I added the [ vds ] tag to your posts for better readability...

Either way will work, however, and BINFILE may be faster in some cases,
such as with large files.

I tested this both ways and yes both ways work fine. But the performance seems better with Binfile and since I have no way of knowing just how much traffic will be generated I think Im gonna stick with BINFILE.
I stored the other code though to my reuseable snippets archive. Might come in handy for other applications. |
