Forums General Discussion Reading the log?

Im sorry if this has been posted before, i have been looking through the help file and the commands list here on the page but i cant find the command to read a log file, so if anyone could help me i would be glad.

i always thought that was part of the options.

To my knowledge, mIRC doesn't have a built-in log viewer. I've always read them in notepad

There isn't a special command, but you can use //run $logdir $+ $mklogfn($active) to open the log in the program associated with .log files.

well, i go to the options, and choose the log i wanna see and click view, but then again, it opens it in notepad. =\

alias logread {
var %logfile = $+($chr(34),$$sfile($logdir*.log,Select Log File,Read it),$chr(34))
var %logwin = $iif($chr(32) isin $nopath(%logfile),$nopath($shortfn(%logfile)),$nopath(%logfile))
window -dk[0] @ $+ %logwin
loadbuf 1- $+ $lines(%logfile) -p @ $+ %logwin %logfile
}

Just type /logread after putting that code in your remotes. This will open an mIRC custom window, and therefore you'll be able to see the effect of color and other control codes if you are logging them.

//run $logdir
