  • Help - The case of the missing log and text files

    I am not able to find the formulaoutput file on my drive anywhere. I've searched for formulaoutput.log, .txt, etc.

    also, since I could not find that file, I added code to just write to a file - but I cant find that anywhere on my drive either ???


    relevant code (slightly modified):


    var myfile = new File ("coolfilename.txt");
    var veryimportantstring = "Indeed very importat stuff";
    myfile.open("at");
    myfile.writeln( veryimportantstring );
    myfile.close();


    but no file, no log file, not able to copy from output window...

    The formulaoutput.log file is in the eSignal folder while the files written using the File Object are in the FormulaOutput folder located in the eSignal folder [see also this article in the EFS KnowledgeBase for further information on the location of the FormulaOutput folder]

      Alex,

      Thanks for the respose.

      I did look in the eSignal folder and the formulaoutput subfolder. It is not there.

      Also, changed the output folder from settings to a different folder, but still cant find either the log or the file I created.

      Even did a search of the entire disk... no files to be found.

      So, not quite sure what could be going on.

      Any thoughts?

        If you are using Win7 and have UAC enabled you need to check your VirtualStore folder (%userprofile%/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/eSignal/...)
