Hey... I was reading through some of the posts, and someone suggested an idea about having command log the program in a text document.
| Quote: | | perl bot.pl > log.txt |
I think that thats a great idea...and it works fine.
But is there a way to have command log the events in the file and still display all the events in the command screen?
I want to do this so that I can read the events as they happen, but I also want to backup the file in case there are errors.

| Hm.... I remember having to do that once for an HTTP server I programmed, for it to be able to run Perl scripts online. I thought it printed it to the window... :blink: |

print() sends text to STDOUT or STDERR. When you type
| Quote: | | perl bot.pl > log.txt |
you are simply redirecting STDOUT to a file called log.txt.
If you want text to show up in both STDOUT and a text file, you should create a new function, something like debug() that prints the same text to STDOUT and to a text file. In addition, you can have this function check a flag, say $debug, to see if it should print anything to STDOUT. That way, you can easily turn debugging on and off by changing the value of $debug. |

My idea was just to make a sub, say "sub Echo" or something, that does all your printing. So instead of doing
print "message\n";
you do
Echo "message\n";
And then sub Echo would print the message to the console, AND write it into a text file. |

I already have all my "$victim: $msg" "$screenname: $reply" print to a text file...
...and they do print to the console....but i want everything to be printed to a document...again..once it hits the console....including the commands and errors

hehe, and what did you think my debug() was supposed to do? Exactly what you just wrote down. hehe 
Read my post, it's not just there as filler. |
