What if I wrote something that would take everything from that log between two given dates (or in the past 24 hours, or something like that) and output it as a fragment of HTML with color tags so it looks like it does in the game? Would that do what you want? _________________ Suddenly you're Busted!

Would that do what you want? Yes exactly. now we are getting somewhere. as that would be perfect. but the only problem is my game server went down and i could not get it to come back up. i even tried to reinstall it. but it would not come online. (it would come online but i could not access it remotely) so even though your help would be welcome i will not be able to use the script untill Version 2.08 comes out. _________________ http://bbs.slother3x.info http://www.slother3x.info My own website, hosted by myself.

I got around to working on this today. I've created a class that parses each log entry from a byte array. That was the easy part. Now it's a question of how to use it. I'm thinking of a command line program that stores its last-run timestamp in a file. Every time you run it, it will produce a HTML fragment containing the log entries between the last time it was run, and now. It could also have command line options to override that behavior. If I remember correctly, you're visually impaired, right? Does that make any difference for command line programs? Or, what kind of interface would be best for you? _________________ Suddenly you're Busted!

I don't know any other languages well enough to do this as quickly and easily... particularly the date parsing. Maybe somebody can port it to perl or something. Like many UNIX text processing commands, it reads from standard input and writes to standard output. So you cat your TWOPENG.DAT, pipe it to this program, and redirect the output to a file, e.g., Code: cat TWOPENG.DAT \| java -jar TWOPENG.jar > log.html You can run it with zero, one, or two date arguments. With zero arguments, it converts the entire log file. With one argument, it converts all log entries on that date. With two arguments, it converts all log entries between the two dates, inclusive, i.e., from 00:00:00 on date1 to 23:59:59 on date2. The date format is mm/dd/yy. Remember to use the game year, not the real year. Limitations: TWOPENG.DAT uses weird little codes to set the text color, e.g., ~1 means bright cyan. I only know what a few of the codes mean. Text with an unrecognized color code will be displayed as gray on black. If someone sends me a log containing other color codes, I'll add them in.

AFAIK. what do you think about it? http://www.cygwin.com/ _________________ http://bbs.slother3x.info http://www.slother3x.info My own website, hosted by myself.

Cygwin is a POSIX compatibility layer built on top of Win32, so you can run Linux/UNIX programs on Windows. It's sort of like the opposite of WINE, but the compatibility isn't as complete. I think programs have to be compiled specifically to run in Cygwin. The file I posted is an executable jar. Change the extension from zip to jar and run it with the java command. You will need to install the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) which you can download from Oracle. Edit: here's the source in case anyone's interested in porting it to another language. It's only two files. Attachments: TWOPENG-src.zip [2.48 KiB] Downloaded 539 times _________________ Suddenly you're Busted!

Again, rename it from zip to jar. The bug is in LogRecord.java, line 46. It should read: Code: date = new String(data, offset + 174, 8); Attachments: TWOPENG.zip [12.27 KiB] Downloaded 501 times _________________ Suddenly you're Busted!
