Log commands¶
Being an interactive program, SPEX has facilities to save commands, execute lists of commands and
save outputs to files. This is arranged through the log commands.
Log execute¶
Executing lists of SPEX commands can be done using the log_exe method, similar to the
log exe command in SPEX:
The filename should include a .com extension.
Example:
>>> s.log_exe('mysource.com')
Log save¶
To save the commands typed into SPEX (or passed through the command function in
PYSPEX or the API), one can use the log_save command.
The savefile should have the .com extension included in the name. Optionally, the status
overwrite or append can be added.
Example:
>>> s.log_save('mycommands.com')
>>> s.log_save('session_01.com', status='append')
Log output¶
The terminal output can be saved in another file with the .out extension using the method
log_out:
The outfile should have the .out extension included in the name. Optionally, the status
overwrite or append can be added.
Examples:
>>> s.log_out('session.out')
>>> s.log_out('mylog.out', status='overwrite')
Log close¶
The logging done by the log_save or log_out methods can be stopped by calling the
log_close method:
where logtype is either save or out.
Examples:
>>> s.log_close('out')
>>> s.log_close('save')
