I need help with this code ... I need it to have a daily log. If you run the list it over writes the file already there. I need it to return the after every entry and then i need the file to generate the date so it will have a running log of files in the folder. Take a look and let me know
Thanks Joey G

The code appears that it would "append" a timestamp to the log file every time you run the routine, rather than overwrite it.
Can you be more clear on what is happening, & what you want it to do?

Sorry Carl for the criptic message....
I need the lisp to generate a daily date so i can keep a daily log of what i worked on
[code} (open "C:\\Users\\Acad2015\\TimeLog\\Logfile-(date).txt" "w")[/code]

Then I will want the output text file to look like this ....

Drawing Started 04/24/15 - 08:53:19 - Holliday_Parlor_Rev0.dwg
Drawing Exit 04/24/15 - 08:53:43 - Holliday_Parlor_Rev0.dwg
Editing Time This Session : 0.0000 Hours and 0.4000 minutes
==============================================================

Drawing Started 04/24/15 - 08:53:19 - Holliday_LivingRm_Rev0.dwg
Drawing Exit 04/24/15 - 08:53:43 - Holliday_LivingRm_Rev0.dwg
Editing Time This Session : 0.0000 Hours and 0.4000 minutes
==============================================================

I think there needs to be a IF Then statement ... If there isnt a file write one .. if there is Append it

Because the 1st line of code is telling to write the file every time you run the login part of the lisp then every part after that it appends to it.

and the date part i just want it so I have a daily log ... and thanks Carl for the help if you can give it

OK I see it does overwrite every time routine is reloaded.
It needs just a simple change.

Insert 1 line and edit one line.

Code: 
 [highlight #FCE94F](setq filedef (findfile "C:\\Users\\Acad2015\\TimeLog\\Logfile.txt"))[/highlight]
   (if (not [highlight #FCE94F]filedef[/highlight])
	(open "C:\\Users\\Acad2015\\TimeLog\\Logfile.txt" "w")

is there a way to add the date to the logfile-(DATE).txt so everyday it will generate a textfile so it looks like this

Logfile-042415.txt ?

Thank you for that help !!! ... This is just perfect !!

Carl I need the code to look something like this ... so it puts the date into it .. if i add this to the code it says that todate isnt defined and i have no idea how to define it.

findfile "C:\\Users\\Acad2015\\TimeLog\\Logfile-" (toDate "DATE" "MODDYY") ".txt"))

This is the code i have so you can test it .... let me know .. Joey

Here's a modified routine to create separate log file for each day.
Your edits had some lisp syntax problems, but the general approach works okay.
