All:
I'm trying to create a log file. I now I can be able to do that by
doing the following:
FILE *outfile;
outfile = fopen("log.txt" , "w");
fprintf("This is the text");
Now questions is, I have a bunch of functions, so whenever I got
to a function I would like to write something in my log file, Is is
possible to basically just put the fprintf inside every function, and
the lines will go after the other?
Like for example
func1()
printf("This is the first message");
func2()
prinf("this is the second message");
In my log file.
I will have
This is the first message
this is the second message 7 1786 rh*******@gmail .com wrote:

You need to pass the value of outfile (pointer to FILE)
to the functions. (Or make it global, but that is not
very extensible, and means your functions won't be
easily separable from the rest of the code.)

Or you could simply call a Logit function from each function, i.e.,
// Untested.
void Logit(const char * msg)
{
FILE * outfile;
if((outfile = fopen("log.txt" , "wa")) != NULL)
{
fprintf(outfile , msg);
fclose(outfile) ;
}
}
You could break the opening/closing out into other functions - so that it
doesn't get open/closed on each call, but then you'd need to make outfile's
scope wider.

Simplest way is to fprintf() to stderr in each function, then redirect
stderr to a file with your normal command shell rules.
Otherwise, fopen/fclose the file in main(), make the file handle a
global variable, and off you go.

How do you know that he has access to a shell ?

I don't, and nor does it matter. If he does, the first answer I gave
is good. If he doesn't the second one works.
What was your point?

No, you can't. For one, fprintf takes 2 arguments,
and for another, well, consider the following...
[tmp]$ cat a.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
FILE *outfile;
outfile = fopen("log.txt" , "w");
fprintf(outfile , "This is the text");
return 0;
}
[tmp]$ gcc -Wall -pedantic a.c
[tmp]$ ./a.out
Segmentation fault

I'd rather extend the function to close the file when called with
NULL and to open the file if it is not already opened - easier for the
caller to use that way (can be closed and reopened whenever the
program deems necessary).
void Logit(const char * msg)
{
#define LOGFILE "log.txt"
static FILE * outfile;
if (!msg) {
if (outfile) {
fclose (outfile);
outfile = NULL;
}
return;
}
if (!outfile) {
outfile = fopen (LOGFILE, "w");
if (!outfile) {
printf ("cannot open %s for logging\n", LOGFILE);
return;
}
}
fprintf(outfile , msg);
}
I also consider the above a good example for the poster, as
the poster seems to be in the learning phase and there's no
better time to introduce static variables, #define's and
resource-handling :-)
For better effect, I'd use a variable argument list and
vfprintf to give the caller much more flexibility (what if
you want to log the number of attempts to connect somewhere?
Surely you don't want the caller to have to manually convert
all integers into strings before logging, do you?)
Using a variable argument list is left as an exercise to
the reader :-)

I wan to use a variable for the outfile file name in a select into clause. I am
doing something like:
set @fileName="/tmp/result.text"
SELECT col1, col2 INTO OUTFILE @fileName
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
FROM test_table;
the interpreter dies at the @fileName...
if I exchange @filename with "/tmp/result.text" it runs fine.

Is there a way to have the field descriptions put into an outfile?
When I do a Select * from data, the display shows the field names,
however when I do the select * into outfile /tmp/test.txt the field names
are not in the file.

Hi,
I am in another country, and I need to finish a program. But I do not
have any reference books. Can you tell me how to print this to a file
without ending the stream with an endl. Stated differently, I don't
want an endl after the last data point printed to the file.
I know this is a basic question, and I apologize.
