How to Log to a .txt or .log file? about clue HOT 9 CLOSED

Thanks for asking @Jargon4072 .

I see that there's no such example.

Defining clue_LOG_EXPRESSION may allow you to setup writing to a file, see example 3 for using clue_LOG_EXPRESSION.

I'll try to think of and add an example later.

Hope this helps.

@Jargon4072, Trying to add something like clue_LOG_TO_FILE. Please don't hold your breath :)

@Jargon4072 , Added clue_LOG_TO_FILE, see example 5.

I tried your method and I got the below errors: stray '\'...

Looks like in your shell the '\' should be omitted, like:

g++ -Wall -Wextra -Weffc++ -I.. -Dclue_LOG_TO_FILE="clue-log.txt" -o example5.exe example5.cpp && example5

Hi,
I tried your method and I got the below errors:

Also, I tried giving log file name via #define clue_LOG_TO_FILE "clue.txt" in example5.cpp it worked but it was not appending logs at the end of the file instead it replaced the existing lines in the file. How to make it to append new logs at the end instead of replacing exiting lines?

Everything is working perfectly. Thanks!! Also, in the multithreaded environment this is working well so far. Thanks a lot!! :)
