I have a large Mathematica notebook that uses Print[] commands periodically to output runtime messages. This is the only output (aside from exported files) that this notebook generates. Is there any way I can automate the export of this output to a .txt file without having to re-write the Print[] commands?
According to the documentation, Print outputs to the $Output channel which is a list of streams. So, at the beginning of the notebook,
strm = OpenWrite["output.log"];
AppendTo[ $Output, strm ];
and at the end of the notebook
Close[strm];
Note, if execution is interrupted prior to closing the stream, then you'll have to do it manually. Also, the above code will overwrite prior data in "output.log," so you may wish to use OpenAppend, instead.
Edit: to guarantee that Abort will be called, consider using one of the techniques outlined here.
You want the PutAppend command.

I am trying to understand if it's possible to change the model output format to .csv instead of the default .mat file when simulating a model using dymosim.exe.
I can do this in dymola itself by using the function "convertMATtoCSV" in the base Data files library. Something like below,
DataFiles.convertMATtoCSV("output.mat", {"t"}, "output.csv");
Is there a way to do this conversion using dymosim.exe?
Kindly advise.
Thanks.
Note: cmd "dymosim.exe -h" has some options for .csv but I am not sure how to use this.
No, it is currently not possible to have dymosim.exe generated by Dymola write the result as csv-file. The CSV-options used by dymosim.exe are only for running multiple simulations.
You can:
Generate a txt result instead, if that is easier to handle for you. (By setting Simulation Setup>Output>Textual data format, this is stored as last element of settings in dsin.txt).
Perform the conversion using dymola\bin\alist.exe
Have the model write a cvs-file as well
Set up to perform this as a post-processing command in Dymola 2017 FD01.
I experienced an error in SAP ABAP which says DATASET_CANT_CLOSE with error number 32 (Broken Pipe). Question is: what procedure triggered this kind of error?
As far as I know, this error was triggered by:
CLOSE DATASET dset
But I can't reproduce the error since I don't know what procedure does trigger this kind of error.
This is the code I use:
method GENERATE_TXT_FILE.
DATA :
lwa_data TYPE t_line,
lv_param TYPE sxpgcolist-parameters.
"Upload File to Server
*Open Dataset
OPEN DATASET im_file_name FILTER 'dos2ux'
FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
CLEAR lwa_data.
LOOP AT it_data INTO lwa_data.
CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS file_access_errors = 4
OTHERS = 8.
TRANSFER lwa_data-lines TO im_file_name.
ENDCATCH.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
CLEAR lwa_data.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
CLEAR lwa_data.
ENDLOOP.
*Close Dataset
CLOSE DATASET im_file_name.
As I have investigated through the background job log, it seems that the current server which run the background job haven't got mapped yet to the text file folder. Solution is to re-map the server to text file folder.
You are using the FILTER extension to OPEN DATASET - which can be a HUGE security issue as well as raise loads of portability issues unless you know what you're doing, but that's not what the question is about. From the documentation:
When the statement OPEN DATASET is executed, a process is started in
the operating system for the specified statement. When the file is
opened for reading, a channel (pipe) is linked with STDOUT of the
process, from which the data is read during file reading. The file
itself is linked with STDIN of the process. When the file is opened
for writing, a channel (pipe) is linked to STDIN of the process, to
which data is passed when writing. The output of the process is
diverted to this file.
In your case, the filter command probably decided to bail out - see this answer among many. Why is hard to investigate - you may have to go through various system logs to find out. If the problem really is some unmapped network folder, you could try switching to UNC paths.
I have a model of a heating process on Ansys Multiphysics, V11.
After running the simulation, I have a script to plot a temperature profile:
!---------------- POST PROCESSING -----------------------
/post1 ! tdatabase postprocessor
!---define profile temperature
path,s_temp1,2,,100 ! define a path
ppath,1,,dop/2,0,0 ! create a path point
ppath,2,,dop/2,1.5,0 ! create a path point
PDEF,surf_t1,TEMP, ,noav ! print a path
plpath,surf_t1 ! plot a path
What I now need, is to save the resulting path in a text file. I have already looked online for a solution, and found the following code to do it, which I appended after the lines above:
/OUTPUT,filename,extension
PRPATH,surf_t1
/OUTPUT
Ansys generates the file filename.extension but it is empty. I tried to place the OUTPUT command in a few locations in the script, but without any success.
I suspect I need to define something else, but I have no idea where to look, as Ansys documentation online is terribly chaotic, and all internet pages I've opened before writing this question are not better.
A final note: Ansys V11 is an old version of the software, but I don't want to upgrade it and fit the old model to the new software.
For the output of the simulation (which includes all calculation steps, and sub-steps description and node-by-node results) the output must be declared in the beginning of the code, and not in the postprocessing phase.
Declaring
/OUTPUT,filename,extension
in the preamble of the main script makes such that the output is stored in the right location, with the desired extension. At the end of the scripts, you must then declare
/OUTPUT
to reset the output file location for ANSYS.
The output to the PATH call made in the postprocessing script is however not printed in the file.
It is convenient to use
*CFOPEN,file,ext
*VWRITE,Vector(1,1).Vector(1,2)
(2F12.6)
*CFCLOSE
where Vector(1,1) is a two column array created by *DIM, and stores your data to output to file
As this is a special command, run it from file i.e. macro_output.mac
I workin' with Torch7 and Lua programming languages. I need a command that redirects the output of my console to a file, instead of printing it into my shell.
For example, in Linux, when you type:
$ ls > dir.txt
The system will print the output of the command "ls" to the file dir.txt, instead of printing it to the default output console.
I need a similar command for Lua. Does anyone know it?
[EDIT] An user suggests to me that this operation is called piping. So, the question should be: "How to make piping in Lua?"
[EDIT2] I would use this # command to do:
$ torch 'my_program' # printed_output.txt
Have a look here -> http://www.lua.org/pil/21.1.html
io.write seems to be what you are looking for.
Lua has no default function to create a file from the console output.
If your applications logs its output -which you're probably trying to do-, it will only be possible to do this by modifying the Lua C++ source code.
If your internal system has access to the output of the console, you could do something similar to this (and set it on a timer, so it runs every 25ms or so):
dumpoutput = function()
local file = io.write([path to file dump here], "w+")
for i, line in ipairs ([console output function]) do
file:write("\n"..line);
end
end
Note that the console output function has to store the output of the console in a table.
To clear the console at the end, just do os.execute( "cls" ).
I am trying a bit of experiments with airmon-ng script in Linux. Meanwhile i want to redirect output of a process "airodump-ng mon0" to a file. I can see the instantaneous output on the screen. The feature of this process is that it won't stop execution(actually it is a script to scan for AP and clients, it will keep on scanning) unless we use ctrl+c.
Whenever i try
airodump-ng mon0 > file.txt
i won't get the output in the file.
My primary assumption is that the shell will write it to the file only after completing the execution. But in the above case i stopped the execution(as the execution won't complete).
So to generalize i can't pipe the output of a running process to a file. How can i do that?
Or is there any alternative way to stop the execution of the process(for example after 5 seconds) and redirect the current output to a file?
A process may send output to standard output or standard error to get it to the terminal. Generally, the former is for information and the latter for errors, but in some cases, a process may mix them up.
I'm supposing that in your case, the standard error is being used. To get both of these to the output file, you can use:
airmon-ng mon0 > file.txt 2>&1
This says to send standard output to file.txt and to reroute 2 (which is the file id for standard error) into 1 (the file id for standard output) so that it also goes to the file.
