[Feedback] Write log to file

[WebCF]

Hi,

VCDS` logfile write function always write line per line - at least it counts the lines while writing. Writing a large AS needs several seconds to complete, while I see no need for the long delay? The text is fixed and writing a file with PHP takes a fraction of the time.

So my feedback: Make the write-log function much faster

Regards,

You really know how to push my buttons
The function that does that was designed for one-line calls, and using it for a multi-thousand lines autoscan meant multi-thousand open and close of the logfile, as well as window refresh and manipulation. I've now made it save the autoscan in one call. On the downside, you can't see the line count increase as it writes anymore, on the upside it went from 3 seconds to save a 1423 line scan to pretty much instant

Oh. My. God.

Not really an issue

I always wondered why no one stumbled upon that on a regular basis. But: Now I pressed the right buttons

Thanks!

I originally wrote that code almost 20 years ago and deliberately put delays in between the lines so you could see the count increasing.

Of course Auto-Scans were shorter then.
