Forums Scripts & Popups Log Filter

Would it be possible for someone to say, remove lines in their logs automatically? Recently, I tested with this command:

//write -ds*split C:\Martin\MIRC\Logs\ $+ $chan $+ . $+ $network $+ . $+ $date $+ .log

but it doesn't work, since the dates for the log files don't have slashes on them. This is what was returned after trying it:

/write: unable to open 'C:\Martin\MIRC\Logs\#fjdskfldsfds.irchighway.04\08\2005.log'

How would I make it such that it wouldn't have the \ marks when I use the command? My harddrive space is quite limited so I'm trying to cut down on useless consumption in logs.

Thanks in Advance,

You might try this instead
For the command line:


For a script remove the // in front of write

I just tried that right now. I wrote *split in, then tested your command. This is what came out:

/write: unable to open 'C:\MARTIN\MIRC\logs\#fdsfds.irchighway.05\08\2005.log'

however, I tried it this way:

//write -ds,*split $+($logdir,$chan,.,$network,.,$date(yyyy),$date(mm),$date(dd),.log)

It seems to be "working", to some extent. However, it's not deleting the lines with *split in them. I experimented using -dstest , and it seems that it's not working somehow. :\

Make sure that the format of the filenames in your log directory match the format that we're trying to use.

I just looked at mine, and noted that in my case the code would have to read


If you're going to use an * in your search (as a wildcard), then you have to use the w to show that it's a wildcard search, rather than the s

$date is flexible, you can put it in one call, even if there are dots or slashes or colons between the fields:

//write -ds,*split $+($logdir,$chan,.,$network,.,$date(yyyymmdd),.log)

Kelder, that should be -dw, right?

I tried this one with -dw and it seems that that's not working either. It doesn't seem to be deleting anything.

Looks like there was another typo in it. Here you are:

//write -dw $+ *split $+($logdir,$chan,.,$network,.,$date(yyyymmdd),.log)

I have no idea, I only changed the $date stuff
I try to keep away from /write and his buddies...

Thank you, that works great

Edit:
I tried to make the script such that it would do it automatically, however, it seems it's uneffective.
Here's what I wrote:

on 1:QUIT: {
//write -dw $+ "*net *split" $+($logdir,$chan,.,$network,.,$date(yyyymmdd),.log)
//write -dw $+ " $+ $nick has quit IRC" $+($logdir,$chan,.,$network,.,$date(yyyymmdd),.log)
}

on 1:JOIN:#: {
//write -dw $+ " $+ $nick has joined $chan $+ " $+($logdir,$chan,.,$network,.,$date(yyyymmdd),.log)
}

on 1:MODE:#: {
//write -dw $+ " $+ $nick sets mode" $+($logdir,$chan,.,$network,.,$date(yyyymmdd),.log)
}

P.S. Yes, I know I suck at this stuff, :\
