Hello,

Does someone know how I can include a .log file (on my computer or on the internet, preferably on my computer) in my Personal Message?

How long would this .log file be? Personal messages are limited to 255 characters I think it is.

No more than 70 characters...

You can use FileSystemObject to read the file then set the text to Messenger.MyPersonalMessage

Javascript code:

---

try { Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = GetEverything('c:\\test.log'); } catch (e) {}
 
function GetEverything(sFile) {
   var fso;
   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   return fso.OpenTextFile(sFile, 1 /* ForReading */).ReadAll();
}

---

Regrettably, Nothing Happens in my personal message...

Javascript code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize() {
    if (Messenger.MyStatus < STATUS_INVISIBLE ) return;
    Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = ReadFile('c:\\test.log');
}
 
function OnEvent_SigninReady() {  OnEvent_Initialize(); }
 
function ReadFile(sFile) {
    var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    return fso.OpenTextFile(sFile, 1 /* ForReading */).ReadAll();
}

Nothing happens, maybe you can give "Remote Assistance" with MSN?
I'll add you on my messenger, Can I get your email adress?

Or maybe you can give me the .plsc file?

Greetzzz

Did you replace the the path of C:\\test.log with a valid file that you are wanting to read?

Yes, I replaced that...

Post the code and the file as well please.

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize() {
    if (Messenger.MyStatus < STATUS_INVISIBLE ) return;
    Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = ReadFile('C:\Users\Myname\Desktop\test.log');
}

function OnEvent_SigninReady() {  OnEvent_Initialize(); }

function ReadFile(sFile) {
    var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    return fso.OpenTextFile(sFile, 1 /* ForReading */).ReadAll();
}

Notice that the file and path name in matty's code has double slashes, it is mandatory:

Javascript code:

---

Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = ReadFile('c:\\test.log');

---

code:

---

ReadFile('C:\Users\Myname\Desktop\test.log');

---

Javascript code:

---

ReadFile('C:\\Users\\Myname\\Desktop\\test.log');

---

Ok, many thanks!!

It works, but when the log file changes, it must also change in my personal message...

P.S. : Can the script read also PHP files on the internet?
