Enigma - Help using Notes with log files

[bogitospeca]

I'm trying to set the Notes for a desktop log of my apache access.log file. The problem is that the Note is displayed from the top, not scrolled to the bottom as I want it to be. I'll be glad if someone shares an idea, how this could be done Thanks in advance!

a way to do this is to use a Windows port of the UNIX tail command to write the last lines of the log file to a different file and display that file instead.

Open Enigma\@Resources\Measures\Notes.inc. Look for the "STRIP CONTENT DIVIDER & FORMAT LISTS" section, and change it to the following.

Code: Select all

	-- STRIP CONTENT DIVIDER & FORMAT LISTS
	local Divider = SELF:GetOption('ContentDivider','')
	Content       = Content:gsub(Divider..'.*', '')
	Content       = Content:gsub('- ', '· ')

	local Lines = {}
	for Line in Content:gmatch('[^\n]+') do
		table.insert(Lines, Line)
	end
	local LimitNumberOfLines = 20 --Change this to the number of lines from the bottom that you want to show.
	for i = 1, (#Lines - LimitNumberOfLines) do
		table.remove(Lines, 1)
	end
	Content = table.concat(Lines, '\n')

	Queue['Content'] = Content

Note that this will not handle line wrapping in any graceful way, so you should probably remove ClipString=1 from the meter style.

I seem not to have such Notes.inc file. Only Notes.lua in there Opened it and no such stuff in there, but still code.
EDIT: Rainmeter version: 2.3.2

Sorry, Notes.lua is indeed the file that I meant.

The code that I described is found in the latest version of Enigma. I don't recall the specific changes to Notes.lua from 3 to 4; it should still be possible to apply the same process, but if you aren't comfortable editing Lua code, the safe option is simply to upgrade.

You might look into PSTools - I needed something similar for event logs on a remote machine. Installed PSTools, wrote a couple command line based scripts and I can filter, range and display whatever I need.
