The TinTin++ message board

Hi again

I searched the forum and I am using this script to split the window but there are two problems. Firstly I get the message on the main window as well and second I only recieve the first line on the upper part.

To remove messages from the main window use at the end of the showtowin alias:

#line gag

I'm not sure what you mean with ' I only recieve the first line on the upper part', can you give an example?


Regarding showing text in a different terminal window, you could use:

#act {(One) %*} {#line log comm.log %0}

Then in another terminal window you'd use:

tail -f comm.log

Thank you once again

With your answer and a lot of searching on the forum I
got everything to work. There is one last thing and I am
set.

I am using html to store my logs because I want to store
the colours. The problem is that when I want to check the
log on the fly (for example when I use split) I have to go
to safari and press refresh. Is there a way to have the
html log or any coloured log in a terminal window with
something like tail?

All the best

Log as raw and use: tail -f <logfile>

Another option is using: #scan <filename> from within tintin, which will load a raw log file, which subsequently allows you to use the #grep and #buffer find <text> commands.

You can also add a log viewing script and add a load and refresh macro (F5):

That worked perfectly. I didn't realise that the raw format stores
colour.

Thanks so much!
