Re: Messy Logs Maybe a better way would be to allow the user to construct his/her own stamping method? Do something similar to mIRC and use a lot of % variables to represent things, then allow the user to construct the stamp in a simple text box. For example, you could have a list such as: %d : day (Monday, Tuesday, etc..) %D : day (01, 02, 15, etc...) %M : month (January, February, etc..) %h : hour %m : minute %s : second %a : am/pm %p : pirate %c : channel ( crew chat, speak, shout, tell, flag officer chat, etc..) %t : the text (if used, text is not appended to the end of the stamp) %% : % (the symbol) Now everyone can construct whatever method they like best for storing the data. For example, you can make popiel's example [20:03:01] <Talek> [crew] Talek says, "Just another circumlocution." by using the stamp [%h:%m:%s]<%p>[%c], and you can create fancy xml tags like 54x's example <say method="flagofficer" source="diamondblade">'Hoy you lot!</say> by using the stamp <say method="%c" source="%p">%t</say>. Of course that list is really short, and there can be a LOT of different variables, thus everyone could print their logs in any possible (plain-text) way they could think of. ---------------------------------------- Gorth Midnight: -Senior Officer of Dastardly Deviant Devils.
