Logging file saves one char after another in a new line for each char.

Objective is to log all char in a same line

is there is a problem with format in logging or ?

Code

import logging

#log file path
log_path=""

logging.basicConfig(filename=(log_path+"log_file.txt"), level=logging.DEBUG, format=' %(message)s' ) 

def btn_press(key):
    logging.info(key)


with Listener(on_press=btn_press) as listene:
    listene.join()

Result: logging

-->In File.txt

l

o

g

g

n

g

Expected Result

logging

what kind of format this requires?


Solution

  • This function is to capture a word/sentence

    old=""
    space = False
    def key_log(key):
        global old
        global space
    
        if key=="Key.space":
            space=True
    
        if len(key) == 1:
            if space:
                key = old + " " + key
                space=False
    
            else:
                key = old + "" + key
    
            old = key
            print(key)
        else:
             print(key)
        logging.info(key)
    
    

    using this function

    def btn_press(key):
        #logging.info(key) 
         key_log(str(key))
    
    

    Result logging

    -->File.txt

    l
    
    lo
    
    log
    
    logg
    
    loggi
    
    loggin
    
    logging
    

    This way is better or any other way for it?

    small help would be appreciated!.
