Naming convention for files generated by mailtodisk

[jdj]

Hello,
I would like to know the rules for naming files generated by mailtodisk.
ex) mail-20220524-0901-98000.txt
What do the numbers in the last hyphen-separated part '98000' mean?

Hi,

The code of \xampp\src\xampp-mailToDisk\src\mailtodisk.py says the following

Code: Select all

filename = "mail-%s-%s.txt" % (strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M", gmtime()),dt.microsecond) # filename with date + time + milliseconds

So the last parts are the microseconds.

Thank you so much, Altera!
Until now I didn't know that the source for mailtodisk was in that directory.
I'm suspicious that the string doesn't contain a second field.
Therefore, I decided to modify and use it as follows.

Code: Select all

filename = "mail-%s-%s.txt" % (strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S", gmtime()),str(dt.microsecond).rjust(6, '0'))

(I'm very new to python coding, so let me know if there's another smart way.)
After making this change, I created an .exe with pyinstaller and replaced the original mailtodisk.
sorting the contents of 'mailoutput' dirctory by file name, it will match in chronological order.
I'm happy to see this.

XAMPP bundles only open source applications. All of XAMPPs own developned binaries can be found in the src folder as sourcecode.
