The TinTin++ message board

[Quackers]

I'd like to see tintin have the ability to timestamp text in the scrollback buffer and in logs. (And yes, I can come up with a kludge to timestamp anything being logged.)

I'd like to be able to type "#config timestamp on" then #grep something (or page through the scrollback) and have the output prepended with timestamps for each line. Then "#config timestamp off" to return to normal behavior. This approach would easily allow logfiles to have timestamps as well. Ideally, some variable like $timestampformat would allow a user to customize the date/time display.

I'm kind of on the fense about this one.

I'll look into adding an event that triggers on each received line. That'd at least make creating a custom logging script easier.

I'd really like to see this too. You really lose a lot of information when reading a log or scrollback when you don't know what lines arrived at the same time.

Following will work the next release:

Won't that just log timestamps to a separate file? I'm looking for timestamps on your normal log file.

Guess I can make it a hidden config option where it's disabled if left blank, and enabled if you enter a timestamp format.

That's more of what i was hoping for. Something like

This pretty easily accomplished with something like this: (slight variation on Scandum's version)

Prerequisite: capture the name of your current log file in a variable ($logfile).

Then create an event like this:
