 | Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Info | | SVN 1579 | Shell substitution, especially interesting for running online experiments |
Shell substitution has been introduced in an experimental state of the current SVN version of ELOG. It woks such that the subsititution list can contain $shell(<argument>) commands. The <argument> is passed to the shell of the operating system and the result is captured and subsituted. This is handy for online experiments, where one wants to pass information automatically to elog. Assume that there is a file /tmp/runnumber containing the current run number of the experiment. All one needs to put the current run number in an attribute "Run number" is the following line in the configuration file:
Preset Run number = $shell(cat /tmp/runnumber)
This subsitution works also for the main text body. Following option will put a calendar of the current month into the text body:
Preset text = $shell(cal)
note that shell subsitution works both on Windows and Unix, the "cat" and "cal" commands are however only present under Unix, but "cat" can be replaced with its Windows counterpart "type". |

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Info | | 2.6.0 | Howto insert screen dumps into an elog entry |
With the new ELCode tags, one can insert screen dumps pretty easy into elog entries. I personally use HoverSnap 0.8 under Windows, there are similar tools under Linux. HoverSnap puts a "Capture.jpg" file in a selectable directoy when you press PrintScreen, then you can instert this file with the  button. Here is such a screendump example:

I fixed that in the SVN revision 1583. The fix will be contained in the upcoming version 2.6.1. |

To my knowledge you need a VirtualHost entry, plus a "URL = http://exo-elog.stanford.edu" entry in elogd.cfg |

 | Mike | mlmoore@pella.com | Question | | 2.6.0 | Compile on Windows? |
What version of Visual Studio do you use for compile Elog on windows.
I have downloaded the Tar from svn and am having some errors, but then I've go VS.Net 2003. I wondering if this was done with 6.0?
thanks |

Right now I'm using VS.Net 2003, but you should be able to compile it with 6.0, except that you have to redo the project file, which might not be backwards compatible. An alternative is to use gcc under cygwin, which is a free alternative for windows. |
