feedback to text file
« on: June 20, 2012, 19:32:32 pm »
Hello All,

Someone know how to redirect or copy the data displayed in the status windows to a text file (as a log file) ?

The goal is to obtain a list of MOP and their machining time ; currently I do a screen capture of the status window, but its not as usable that a text file.

hello David,

no way to print it out. And I found no way to copy this text.
I ask for this feature last year.

I would like to print or copy it to to compare the machining times when I do changes in the mop. I do a screenshot now and print it out.

Hello Ralf,

Yes I remember that you ask for this feature.

I try to access to the window by vbscript, but I can only write in it, I can't found how to get the existing data in the window.

Is there an "error channel" in the language Andy uses?

In 'IX programming, I was always able to re-direct errors to a log by redirection of the error channel.

It's not really a syntax problem, VB keywords and functions can be found on MSDN, but a lack of infos about Cambam specific functions. Only Andy can deliver info about that ....

I did not much tired to find it lol! :-[

this is the one that appears by default when creating a new script

Code: [Select]
' New CamBam VBScript

sub main
app.log("Hello")
end sub

It writes "Hello" in the bottom windows

Sorry for the lack of progress on this one... It hasn't been forgotten, it just got pushed a bit down the priority list.
I was intending a significant rewrite of the message logging, but there is something we can do in the meantime.

I have attached a plugin for you (unzip to the plugins folder).

This adds a new Plugins menu item : MessageLog Copy
When selected, all text in the message log will be copied to the clipboard.

I hope this helps!

Hello Andy,

Yes !! very thanks that help well  ;)

Now I can do a VB tools that extract and sort the data that I want from the copied file.

I've a file with 34 Mop that I must optimize, to reduce machining time for mass production.

good night

Hi David, will this plugin copy the text as displayed in the GRBL Machine plugin message window?

Best,
Kelly

Hello

I don't think so ... but I can't use GRBL plugin, so I don't know where its messages are written ; if they are written in the "regular" cambam log message window they should be copied, but if it's a window specific to the plugin, they will not be.
