Separate engine and modules error logs

[Grey]

As per title. Sometimes it can be hard finding the relevant module output between all the engine loading stuff. Or perhaps suppress the output for the boot module, since it all seems to work fine anyway.

Grey, I suggest making the output of your module grep-able from the main log. Make your own module print function as below:

Code: Select all

mprint = function(...)
    print("[MY_MODULE]", ...)
end

and use "mprint" in your module instead of "print". This allows you to do `grep '[MY_MODULE]' te4_log.txt` to see all the module-related output.

And what the frell is grep?

(Actually I sorta know what it is, and quite specifically know it's not available to me.)

grep outputs (in this case) just the lines that meet the condition. On Windows, you can use an editor like Notepad++ - it's search-in-files function works quite similar, if a bit uglier.
