Log Problems

Greetings!

A little while ago I installed MUSHclient on my new computer which is running Windows Vista. I played for a whole month and occasionally I would log some of my sessions.

Just the other day I tried to look for the logs in my computer and when I went to the directory none of the files were there. So, I did a file search and none of them still didn't show up.

But, for some apparent reason I can load the log files under MUSH as a new world and when I go to the directory the files are there. At this point I started saving them as a text file but one of the files is too big to open it under MUSH.

Is there anything I could do to be able to access that file? Any help would be appreciated and I apologize if someone has posted about this before.

Thank you!

Perhaps this is the problem?

To be honest, I'm quite new to using MUSHclient and I apologize for the next question.

Where would you enter the /print (GetInfo(64)) command to see where the logs are actually being kept?

The thing is I can see the logs within MUSH and access them, but I can't see them in a normal directory under windows. It says the directory is empty.

Thanks for the help!

Enable scripting and have the scripting command be: /

Then just type it in the command window.

Or you can type Ctrl+I to open the "immediate scripting" window and type in the command without the slash, that is:

print (GetInfo(64))

And then press the Run button.

Okay. At first, I tried to just type it in the Immediate Execution Window and I didn't get anything. Then, I realized that I had to change it for Python code since that is the script program I am using.

I found the directory that was said in 64 exit code and when I went to it under Windows it said that there is no files present.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Thanks again

You might have to check "view hidden files", maybe it isn't showing the .log files in that directory.

Yep. I've already checked the "view hidden files" tab in the folder options in Vista. I'm running a Japanese version of it so I don't know if that could be a reason. I just find it so weird that I can open the logs using MUSHclient but anything else it doesn't work.

Can you copy and paste what you see when you do "print (GetInfo(64))" please? I might get a clue from that.

Sure. Here is what I get for 64:

64 = C:\Users\Bernie\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MUSHclient\

Also, this directory and the directory which contains the logs that I can access in MUSH are different.

I apologise for suggesting you type GetInfo (64).

As you can see from the help file, 64 is the current directory:

http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?function=GetInfo

You want GetInfo (58) which is the default log files directory, or probably better still: GetInfo (51) which is the current log file name.

So, if you open a log file, and then find what GetInfo (51) returns, that will be exactly where the log file is, and you should be able to locate the files there.

I apologize for the delay in writing my response but I figured out the problem yesterday. And so after banging my head a couple of times on my desk, here is what I did.

I just executed the MUSHclient program under the administrator option. When I first wrote the problem, I tried installing the program as an administrator thinking that was the problem since it was just the log directory that I couldn't access. But after that didn't work I kinda of just gave up.

So, just the other day I realized that I could just run the program from the right click menu and it worked.

Thanks again for the help.
