Default Save output console to textfile

Hello everybody,

is there a way to save the content of the output console to a textfile?
I would like to export the content after each repetition when I use the experimenter.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!
Jens

Please have a look at "fileopen" in the usercommand menu. There is a short explination.


Greetings

Hi Carsten,

first of all: Thanks for the quick reply!

But I think fileopen doesn't to what I intend to do.
I use the pt(), pd(), ... commands to write to the output console during the simulation because I want to trace certain issues in my model, when I only do single runs.

The problem now is, if I use the experimenter, the data from the output console is lost after each repetition, but I don't only want to write the date in a file. Then I would have used fpt(), fpd(), ..

I hope I could explain what I mean

Best, Jens

The console output for each replication is put into folders under the Experimenter in Tools folder of the model.

Is this Feature already available in v5?




Because I cannot find anything like this in the tree.

Thanks!

Hm ok .. sorry for not mentioning it. I'm still working with v5 since I don't feel comfortable switching versions completely in the middle of a project ..

Any ideas for a work-around in v5?

Are you losing the information because you have a clearconsole statement somewhere?

Well, yes. Reason is a better overview.

If I didn't do this, how could I export the entire console content after all the runs?

Hello Jens,

If you take a look at the active view in the tree when the output console is open, you can get the text of the window with:
getviewtext( node( "/active/Output/scriptedit", views() ) )

I only tested it with one word and the script editor, but this worked. Maybe you can use this to export the output console after a replication.

Esther

Sounds as if you only should write some information instead of clearconsole. Maybe something like pr();pt("Next Experiment");pr();

OK, this was to late.
