Capturing Entries from the Infolog

You can capture lines from the infolog to use elsewhere if you so desire. In my specific instance, we are doing automated processing on an EDI transaction and we want to capture any infolog messages and attach them to the main record we are processing so if we encounter any errors, after the fact we can see what the issue was ( or at least point the user in the right direction ). Below is an example function that does that.

 

public static str getInfologText(int _startLine = 1, boolean _clearInfo = false)
{
    int currentLine;
    str retValue;
    ;

    /*
        Do not use infolog.infologData to get the infolog data because that creates a copy and clears the actual infolog.
        Then the infolog.line() method will return 0 afterwards and you cannot clear the selected lines anymore
    */

    for(currentLine = _startLine; currentLine <= infolog.line(); currentLine++)
    {
        retValue += '\n' + infolog.text(currentLine);
    }

    // _startLine -1 because the infolog method will add 1
    if(_clearInfo)
        infolog.clear(_startLine -1);

    return retValue;
}
