writeToLogEx

Valid for: CANoe DE • CANoe:lite DE • CANoe4SW DE • CANoe4SW:lite DE

​
Function Syntax

void writeToLogEx(char format[], ...);

​
Description

Writes an output string to an ASCII or BLF logging file. Write is based on the C function printf. The compiler cannot check the format string. Illegal format entries will lead to undefined results. Different to the writeToLog function, neither comment characters (”//”) nor time stamps will be printed at the beginning of a line. Note
  • The maximum length of the resulting string is limited to 1024 characters.
  • Importing ASCII files with self-generated lines without comment characters into CANoe DE product can lead to problems.
  • As BLF is not a human readable format, the output string cannot be seen directly in a BLF logging file, but only after a conversion into an ASCII logging file.

​
Parameters

Format string, variables or expressions.

​
Return Values

    writeToLogEx("===> %s", timeBuffer);
