Speaking of sed, I got sed working on windows, using links in the topic I linked to in an earlier post in this topic, so if you could show or tell me what commands/parameters used in unix, maybe I could try and use it, and I would like thank you all for replying to my questions eventhough this is regarding my windrop and not my other eggs who are running under linux.

But as I asked, I would be thrilled if you could point me in the right direction regarding the sed and how to remove unwanted entries in unix.

*EDIT* I used google and found help here: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html

not an eggdrop (or windrop) problem, strictly operator probl

Log settings only apply to what the bot logs, not to what you put in there.
This issue is an operator problem.
You will have to "clean" the log yourself. Since you are doing this on a Windows machine, I do not know an "easy" way to remove the unwanted entries on Win32 as it can be done with sed on a UNIX-like operating system.

That would explain alittle, yes..
Changing logging-settings will not affect what has been logged sofar, only what will be logged in the future.

As for "cleaning" your logfiles, I'd recommend writing a simple script using pattern-matching (such as regular expressions).
If you got some tool such as grep, you could try something like this, I suppose:

Code:

[user@host logs]# egrep -v '\[([0-9:]{5})\] [^ ]+ \([^ ]+\) (joined|left|got|returned) .*' logfile

The regular expression could probably be used with regexp in tcl-coding without too many issues.

I did restart several times, and im using Windrop v1.6.18 and yes im well aware of this is not a windrop forum, however, I think I need to mention this:
http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?t=15352

I did a conversion of a mIRC log to eggdrop log, and the mIRC had quits, and parts etc.
After the convertion where everything ran fine, thus still showing quits etc. AND using just p in logfil parameters, it still showed everything, so I guess my convertion messed up since it still keps all the reason quits etc.

Yesterday I tried with a fresh new eggdrop log, using only p
and that works as it should, only logging normal chat, but it's sad if I can't use the "big" log.

Is there a way to "clean" a log from quits, parts and all that?

no worries sorry for mix up.
logfile pk #lamest "logs/lamest.log"
would do it. I think you just need to cycle the current log file and then
.restart
the bot

What part of starpossen's post showing that was already done did you miss??

What version eggdrop is this issue happening on?

Sorry for being unclear, what I want NOT to be logged is:

Code:

JoinsPartsQuitsNetsplits

I only want it to log normal chat and kicks, normal stuff.

Do you want it to log joins, parts, quits and netsplits? or not?

Code:

[19:07:25]  Logfile #1: logs/eggdrop.log on * (mco: msgs, cmds, misc)[19:07:25]  Logfile #2: logs/mychannel.log on #mychannel (pk: public, kicks/modes)

Is what it shows in partyline for that section in questio.
I don't get it, It simply ignores to not log the j part.

Check the log settings displayed from the output of dcc command .status all and re-check the flags that way.

I didn't want my bot to log all those joins, parts, quits etc.
so I thought that removing the j would solve this as the
conf says:

Code:

##### LOG FILES ###### Eggdrop is capable of logging various things, from channel chatter to# commands people use on the bot and file transfers. # Events are logged by certain categories. This way, you can specify# exactly what kind of events you want sent to various logfiles.## Logfile flags:#   j - joins, parts, quits, and netsplits on the channel

therefor I change mine from:

logfile jpk #lamest "logs/lamest.log"
to:
logfile pk #lamest "logs/lamest.log"

But it still logs the quits and such.

Did I miss something?
