Re: Is there a way to log data into a text file?
It should be possible to load it into a list, and then export the list to a .txt file, but I don't think it would work directly.

Thanks.
That's a great idea.
I didn't notice the export option on the list.
I can monitor light levels every hour and graph the levels moving a small sprite, a pen down, x+10 and y=light sensor.

Re: Is there a way to log data into a text file?
I think it must not use an extension because I can import the files that I exported but cannot find them in explorer or any other program. When I try to import them it shows these files in the scratch folder. How do I get them inot excel for example?
Thanks Again!

It saves to My Documents, if I remember correctly.

Re: Is there a way to log data into a text file?
There must be something I'm missing. I can't find the files from outside of Scratch. The files are there in the scratch directory but I can only see them if I try to import what I exported (from inside scratch) . How do I find them with a text editor from outside of scratch so I can import them to excel. Are they in a data or config file?
Thanks again.

Re: Is there a way to log data into a text file?
Thanks. You pointed me in the right direction.
Here is the solution.
On Vista you navigate to the Program Files, Scratch folder.
Look on the menu of the File Explorer and you will see a button called:
"Show the Compatibility Files for this directory". Click on this and the Exported List files from a scratch program suddenly become viewable/visable in the scratch folder.
I tried finding a coherent explanation for this but just gave up.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for your input!

Useful information, thanks.
I'm doing datalogging at school and can now write a script to log light levels.

In Vista, when I export it, it gives me a permissions error. Do I have to turn my firewall off or something?
You just need to add permissions to that folder for your account, if you are logged in as the administrator, then you shouldn't be getting that error.
