How do I export "userinfo" to a text file?

[jhiltabidel]

If I use these actions:

result = System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_US);
result = System.GetLANInfo();
result = System.GetMemoryInfo();
result = System.GetOSName();
result = System.GetTime(TIME_FMT_MIL);
result = System.GetUserInfo();


How can I then export these things to a .log file?

Thank you,

Joe

Hello,

perhaps it's what you need ..

example :

--///CREATE LOG FOLDER IF DON'T EXIST///
Folder.Create("C:\\log");

--///CREATE LOG.TXT IN C:\LOG WITH RESULT///
result = System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_US);
TextFile.WriteFromString("c:\\log\\log.txt" , result .. "\r\n", false);

result = System.GetOSName();
TextFile.WriteFromString("c:\\log\\log.txt" , result .. "\r\n", true);

result = System.GetTime(TIME_FMT_MIL);
TextFile.WriteFromString("c:\\log\\log.txt" , result .. "\r\n", true);

you can collect all the information into multiple variables and then write those variables to a text file.

result1 = System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_US);
result2 = System.GetLANInfo();
result3 = System.GetMemoryInfo();
result4 = System.GetOSName();
result5 = System.GetTime(TIME_FMT_MIL);
result6 = System.GetUserInfo();

TextFile.WriteFromString("filename", result1.."\r\n"..result2.."\r\n". . .

or you can combine the above into a single varible

result = System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_US);
result = result .. "\r\n" .. System.GetLANInfo();
result = result .. "\r\n" .. System.GetMemoryInfo();
result = result .. "\r\n" .. System.GetOSName();
result = result .. "\r\n" .. System.GetTime(TIME_FMT_MIL);
result = result .. "\r\n" .. System.GetUserInfo();

TextFile.WriteFromString("filename, result, false);

HOHO good code ! i like these .. it's better than mine.. thanks

result = System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_US);
result = result .. "\r\n" .. System.GetLANInfo();
result = result .. "\r\n" .. System.GetMemoryInfo();
result = result .. "\r\n" .. System.GetOSName();
result = result .. "\r\n" .. System.GetTime(TIME_FMT_MIL);
result = result .. "\r\n" .. System.GetUserInfo();
TextFile.WriteFromString("filename, result, false);

Thank you both! What does the \r \n mean?

Would my finished code look like this? I'm a noob.

result1 = System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_US);
result2 = System.GetLANInfo();
result3 = System.GetMemoryInfo();
result4 = System.GetOSName();
result5 = System.GetTime(TIME_FMT_MIL);
result6 = System.GetUserInfo();

TextFile.WriteFromString("C:\\test.log",result1.." \r\n"..result2.."\r\n"..result3.."\r\n"..result4.. "\r\n"..result5.."\r\n"..result6)

Hi,

I would write like below so that I can arrange and reuse variables as well as recall the logic when I reopen the project a few months later.

sPCDate = System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_US);
sPCLanInfo = System.GetLANInfo();
sPCMemInfo = System.GetMemoryInfo();
sPCOS = System.GetOSName();
sPCTime = System.GetTime(TIME_FMT_MIL);
sPCUser = System.GetUserInfo();

TextFile.WriteFromString("C:\\test.log",sPCDate.." \r\n"..sPCLanInfo.."\r\n"..sPCMemInfo.."\r\n"..sPCOS.. "\r\n"..sPCTime.."\r\n"..sPCUser)

\r\n are escaped characters. This is to write the next variable value on a newline in the text file. There are several other escaped characters.

Instead of using "\r\n", you can also write all values on the same line by separating them using the pipe symbol " | " or comma " , " or any other characters. Very useful if you plan to reuse the values in Excel or SQL softwares.

Thanks Azmanar for the update! I get this message when testing the code:

Line 8: attempt to concatenate global 'sPCUser' (a table value)

Is the userinfo table and the others are string -- then how do I output them both?

Thanks,

Joe

Try -

TextFile.WriteFromString("C:\\test.log",sPCDate.." \r\n"..sPCLanInfo.User.."\r\n"..sPCMemInfo.TotalRAM.."\r\n"..sPCOS.. "\r\n"..sPCTime.."\r\n"..sPCUser.RegOwner)

System.GetLANInfo, System.GetMemoryInfo and System.GetUserInfo all return tables and you need to specify which element of the table you require.

That works great! I modified it slightly so that it would append the file with a space between instances. I thought the GetLanInfo would collect IP address, no?

Is there someway to collect the IP address,

Basically I'm trying to collect as much of the same information that shows up under windows cmd by typing systeminfo (I just don't want all that hotfix information). If I can't collect it all, then as much as possible would be great.... this is what mine shows (with all hotfix information edited out):
