File write location
|
Sorry if this is redundant to other posts or if the feature is already rolled into Cmud... Hopefully this can still get on the wishlist. In Zmud, I like the #write command and obviously use it with #file, however to my knowledge there is no way to change the directory of where the .txt output file is stored. It would be nice to write to a file in a different directory, or possibly to a subdirectory in the Cmud directory. If the ability to choose isn't rolled in, it would be nice if this subdirectory were limited to only the files created by #write

hmm still can't get it to work... I tried something simple:
#file 1 c:\testlog.txt
#write 1 TEEEESSSSSTTTTTT
and it wrote it to the zmud directory, not to the C drive...
Also I tried
#file 1 .\testlogs\testlog.txt
and
#file 1 ..\testlogs\testlog.txt
all of them still wrote to main zmud directory... any other suggestions? |

I think it's not possible, but try using quotes?

Actually zMUD and I guess CMUD too doesn't allow you to read/write files that aren't in the client directory for security reasons. Quote from the helpfile:
| Quote: |
The filename given in name is restricted to the current directory containing ZMUD.EXE and cannot refer to a EXE, HLP, or MUD file. This protects you from accidentally modifying important files on your disk.

That's interesting because I don't think there are any such restrictions with the #LOG command. Granted the #LOG command is a little more limited with what you can write, can't exactly write a binary file I guess. It can however be made to create great havoc among existing files, append the hosts file with new IP numbers etc.

I know this is way late for a reply to this thread, but I find myself looking for a solution to a related problem, so I might as well add to it.
I've found that you actually can control where files go in zMUD by using the unix directory format.
C:\Program Files\ for instance becomes "/Program Files/" |
