$LogFile(...\Log$Time(yyyymmdd).txt,1) not woking

Post by **caesar** » October 17th, 2005, 9:45 pm

Hi!

I am trying to display a logfile automatically generated from a network share. It has the following formatting: "Log20051017.txt" for todays log so I have tried the following syntax
$LogFile(\\network\share\Log$Time(yyyymmdd).txt,1)
but it isn't working, with the current date entered it works, $Time outputs alone the correct yyyymmdd.
What should i do? Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help!

PS It displays [File: No such file]

This is normal cause smartie cannot pass the value of the date as a string to the other function ($Logfile)

A variable should be used here but I don't remember a function to support variables.

SO!

I 've created a plugin for your needs
you can download it here

This plugin, called "var" can return the complete variable of today combined with the given path bypassing the error generated by LCD Smartie...

Notice
Works only for the current date

Consider this plugin as discontinued. No other version will follow this release!

As for the plugin: it works like a charm!

Just three more words: LCDSmartie really rocks!
