Init DLL Function

LogEx::Init /NOUNLOAD FileName

FileName

AddFile DLL Function

LogEx::AddFile /NOUNLOAD FileName Prefix

Prefix

Prefix to add at the beginning of each new line.

Close DLL Function

LogEx::Close

Example

LogEx::Init /NOUNLOAD "$TEMP\log.txt"

LogEx::Write /NOUNLOAD "Write this line to the log file and the status list box" true
LogEx::Write /NOUNLOAD "Write this line to the log file, the status list box and the statusbar" true true
