I would be interested in having a bot which prints timestamps that measure to the miliseconds.  For instance:  [hour:minute:seconds:miliseconds].  I would be interested in using one of these bots for various reasons.  Does anyone know of such a bot?

You could probably adapt Grok's code here:

I'm not familiar with VB, so It'd just be easier for me to have the bot with it allready implemented.  But I'll see what use I can make of that code.

Sorry, I misread your question. Forward that link on to your bot developer of choice.

You perhaps?  :-p

Shouldn't this post be in the BotDev forum?

No. He's asking for a bot which has a certain feature.

I have one, supports all clients (uses BNLS) - Doesn't have much features yet but it's being worked on.. I'll upload it when I get home since I installed a new server on my system and it's not currently there

I have one as well yet, it's unreleased. I also encountered a problem that UserLoser pointed out to me. It logs milliseconds larger than the maximum millisecond number.

Nice trick.  If you want some help fixing it, spawn a new thread about that (preferably either in botdev or in a language specific forum, as you feel appropriate) and I'm sure someone will take a look.

void TimeStamp(char *buf, bool bMSTime)
{
   SYSTEMTIME st;
   GetLocalTime(&st);
   if (bMSTime)
      sprintf(buf, "[%02i:%02i:%02i.%03i] ", st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond, st.wMilliseconds);
   else
      sprintf(buf, "[%02i:%02i:%02i] ", st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond);
}

Code Select Expand


void TimeStamp(char *buf, bool bMSTime)
{
  SYSTEMTIME st;
  GetLocalTime(&st);
  if (bMSTime)
     sprintf(buf, "[%02i:%02i:%02i.%03i] ", st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond, st.wMilliseconds);
  else
     sprintf(buf, "[%02i:%02i:%02i] ", st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond);
}


A quick optimization:

     sprintf(buf, bMSTime ? "[%02i:%02i:%02i.%03i] " : "[%02i:%02i:%02i] ", st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond, st.wMilliseconds);
This cuts down on code size by only having one way to call sprintf.  The ternary operator ?: picks a format string appropriate to the request, rather than an if/else construction which picks an entire function call.  When bMSTime is false, the fourth field st.wMilliseconds is silently ignored by sprintf, since the non-ms format string only specifies three fields.

It would also prevent the compile-time checking of printf format arguments done by some modern compilers?

Sure.  That's why I only make such changes when I'm going back through looking for easy enhancements, after I've already built everything and gotten any associated warnings.

I am of the opinion that someone should stab you in the face.

Stab who?  You should indicate the poster to whom you are referring.
