WriteLogfile

Write a text to a logfile. The contents of the logfile is completely replaced with the text (see *  AppendLogfile to append a text to a logfile). The first STRING is the name of the logfile, for example "C:\Program Files\MyDefrag v4.3.1\MyDefrag.log". The second STRING is the text to write to the logfile.
  • See the *  Variables for a list of variables that can be used in the text.
  • The standard MyDefrag scripts create a logfile in the MyDefrag installation folder, default is "C:\Program Files\MyDefrag v4.3.1\MyDefrag.log".
    Note: Windows 7 is configured by default to deny regular users write-access to the "C:\Program Files" folder, so MyDefrag cannot create a logfile there.
