Your blog looks good, Slother!

Still not sure why the formatting's getting messed up on yours, Topper. I'm seeing all kinds of weird stuff when I view the source, like <span> tags being split in half, and the brackets around some tags (but not others) being converted into HTML entities like &gt;.

Could you try manually editing my program's HTML output and see if you can find a solution that works with Wordpress? If you figure out something that works, I'll incorporate it into the program.


I'll work on it... its odd that it only breaks on 2 of them... but the others are fine. If I can figure it out, I'll let you know.

Well.. they are easy to clean up, but its kind of weird, an exclamation point appears randomly followed by a CR:

Code:
<span style="c!
olor:#ff
5555;"> --</span>

I'm wondering...

I took a look at the output of the .jar, it outputs to a single line... The breaks that occure on the blog happen at exactly 2040 characters.

Any chance you could have the output of the .jar linebreak somewhere safe? Like maybe after a Date/time stamp?

Sure... I'll just put in a line break after every log record.

Just checked the mailbox that the logs are sent to... they are broken up... I don't know if the problem is with Blat... or with my email provider, but at least now I know its not a problem with wordpress. [whew]

And just to be sure, I copied the text from the inbox, and posted it... it posts broken.. in the exact same places.

so... I can pretty much confirm that the problem will be fixed with the solution you're working on.

That cured it. Its not as tight as it was (The new lines appear after each entry, like double spaced), but at least the visual errors, and code breaks are gone.

NOW: http://www.netcessor.com/topper/2011/09 ... ays-log-4/

Before: http://www.netcessor.com/topper/2011/09 ... ays-log-3/

EDIT: I might be able to fix that with a bit of editing to the Wordpress Theme. I'll look into it.

It works for me. Thanks!

I could give it a command line option to use HTML break tags, CR+LF line breaks, or both after each record. Let me know if that would be useful.

It might help... not sure.

As long as the output of each line is less than 2000'ish characters, they'll be able to post with out breaking.

I think the problem visually right now is the amount of space (Padding) that happens when it comes across a hard return. I *Should* be able to fix it by adjusting the CSS of the theme I'm using. Problem now is that I didn't write this theme, and the CSS is about 800 lines, and not commented, or organized very well.

I have another request... this one might seem a little odd.

the daily log for game "M" on my server is is pretty long (One of the players likes creating and blowing up a LOT of planets...) I got this error:

Code:
The process tried to write to a nonexistent pipe.


A quick google search says that error appears when Java tries to end before its done writing to the output file.

so... any chance you could add a .5 - 2 second pause to the jar file after its done processing so the output file has a chance to catch up and close?

Seems that your app is fast... REAL fast, which is usually a good thing :D

perhaps he is a serial planet killer? as someone has done the same thing on my Trade wars game server a few days ago.

i think it is a way for his alignment to decrease drastically. or he just does not like planets that he creates. be it a girl instead of a boy. you kill the girls till you get that boy you want since it is as you know in that one child policy. or in this case a 5 planet or so policy :lol:

That doesn't seem right. My program doesn't write to a file; it writes to a pipe that belongs to your shell. I think the problem is on the other end: my program is prematurely detecting the end of the input and shutting down, while the type command is still trying to write to the pipe that my program was reading.

The simplest solution might be to change how many bytes your shell can buffer in a pipe. (And I have no idea how to do that.) But a better solution might be for me to come up with a more reliable way of detecting the end of the input...

I'll think about it.

Ohhhhhh... I know what's happening!

My program abruptly exits when it detects a log entry that's after the date range it's supposed to be converting. If there are a large number of log entries after this, and the type command has not already written them to the pipe when my program ends, then you will see this error.

If my theory is correct, you should find that the output is complete for the date range you wanted. Is that the case?

It *did* write the entire log for the date. It seemed to work just as it should, but just kicked out that error.

If that's what you mean.. then ya.. yer right.

Yeah. It's actually the type command printing that error.

I could make my program always read through the rest of the input, even though it knows it's done...
