Format of Variables written to log files.

[smurphdude]

Would it be possible for Mydefrag when writing variables containing numbers to log files to ignore Windows settings for digit grouping, and also to write numbers without leading blank spaces. Would facilitate creating log files that can also be run as a script.

Eg. I would like to use the following message definition in my script...

Message("Lastrunzone","
SETVARIABLE (Zone!Zonenumber!Begin,!ZoneBegin!)
")

but the output has leading blank spaces before the !Zonenumber!..

e.g.

SETVARIABLE (Zone                1Begin,                  0)

So instead I have to use the following.

Message("Lastrunzone1","
SETVARIABLE (Zone1Begin,!ZoneBegin!)
")
Message("Lastrunzone2","
SETVARIABLE (Zone2Begin,!ZoneBegin!)
")
Message("Lastrunzone3","
SETVARIABLE (Zone3Begin,!ZoneBegin!)
")
Message("Lastrunzone4","
SETVARIABLE (Zone4Begin,!ZoneBegin!)
")
Message("Lastrunzone5","
SETVARIABLE (Zone5Begin,!ZoneBegin!)
")
Message("Lastrunzone6","
SETVARIABLE (Zone6Begin,!ZoneBegin!)
")
Message("Lastrunzone7","
SETVARIABLE (Zone7Begin,!ZoneBegin!)
")
Message("Lastrunzone8","
SETVARIABLE (Zone8Begin,!ZoneBegin!)
")

)

I agree that the number formatting is not flexible enough. The way numbers are printed at the moment is useful for making logfiles, to print nicely formatted output, but it's not so good for other kinds of output. I have it on my list to make something more flexible. Perhaps a setting where the scriptwriter can change the number formatting, something like that.
