Hi there,

I tried your code and add two print lines here to test it, and it looks fine to me!!!

• print CONSOLE_LOGF "[1st print]\n";
• print CONSOLE_LOGF "[2nd print]\n";

And here the second print was appended to the first one.

my next Q is: How do you write to these files, can you give some example?

also you can see my version of your code here:

$tme=localtime();
my ($d,$m,$y) = (localtime)[3,4,5];
my $mdy1 = sprintf '%d-%d-%d', $d, $m+1, $y+1900;
print "\nDate is:$mdy1\n";
if ($mdy1 eq "0-3-2015") {$mdy1 = "28-2-2015";}
print "\nDate is:$mdy1\n";
$LOGFILE = "7252_Widevine_OemCrypto_Consolelog_User1";
$CONSOLE_LOGFILE = $LOGFILE.'_'.$mdy1.'.txt';

open CONSOLE_LOGF, ">", $CONSOLE_LOGFILE or die "Cannot open Console l
+ogfile $CONSOLE_LOGFILE:$!";
system("pwd");

print CONSOLE_LOGF "[1st print]\n";    #<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

# Doing some operations here.


close(CONSOLE_LOGF);

$tme=localtime();
($d,$m,$y) = (localtime)[3,4,5];
#my $mdy2 = sprintf '%d-%d-%d', $d-1, $m+1, $y+1900;
my $mdy2 = sprintf '%d-%d-%d', $d, $m+1, $y+1900;
print "\nDate is:$mdy2\n";
 
$LOGFILE1 = "7252_Widevine_OemCrypto_Consolelog_User1";
$CONSOLE_LOGFILE = $LOGFILE1.'_'.$mdy2.'.txt';

open(CONSOLE_LOGF, ">>", $CONSOLE_LOGFILE) || die "Cannot open Console
+ logfile $CONSOLE_LOGFILE: $!";
# ........... Here is where the previous contents are erased and new f
+ile is created with new time(date is same here).....
system("pwd");

print CONSOLE_LOGF "[2nd print]\n";    #<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

# Doing some operations here.

close(CONSOLE_LOGF);
