Both Cumulus 1 and 3 (2 did not) now provide editors where you can see what is in your dayfile.txt log, and if you click on a particular line you can edit the fields in that line, or indeed delete that line. | Both Cumulus 1 and 3 (2 did not) now provide editors where you can see what is in your dayfile.txt log, and if you click on a particular line you can edit the fields in that line, or indeed delete that line. | ||
If you use these provided editors, then you don't need to worry about the editing rules in the next section. The in-built editors always insert a full line including all fields available in the version of Cumulus you are currently using, so you cannot accidentally insert blank lines. The Cumulus 1 editor also does some validation to ensure the right entry format is used for each field. There is no validation in the MX editor (it was set up relatively quickly in version 3.4.5 as the first of 3 log file editors to plug a gap in MX functionality in earlier versions), but all lines are passed back via an application programme interface to the MX engine which might raise an error when it can't replace the line in the logging file. | |||
