Heya lads!

Am starting a new project and trying to be really organized. So, before jumping in with all the fun stuff, I am writing is piece by piece, module by module, starting with a simple logging system to keep track of what's going on!

However, I am having trouble with outputting the file. I can get the textfile open and whatnot and even enter an error with a timestamp, but it only holds a single log entry. I was hoping to have a compiled entry, like adding a new line for every entry. Here is the basic code right now;



I stripped out all the other stuff so you can see the barebone basics =D

Anyhow, if anyone knows how to just add a line to the log, rather than replacing the entire text file, I would appreciate the help!

Thanks!

Use the constructor to open your file, use addEntry to write, then if necessary, use the destructor to close the file (not necessary in your case).

You might also want to add an option to force flushing to the file for every line written, or else a crash could leave the back end of the file unwritten in a temporary file buffer somewhere.

[EDIT]
Actually, I coded this last night for another purpose, and I've hacked it to match what I suggested:


Sorry, but I used C-style file I/O.

Thanks for the code! I appreciate the help.

Looking into the problem further. The c-style input seems...easier than c++.

Thanks!
