Wish Clear log.

[Eme Fibonacci]

Is it possible to implement this?

in code b4x a common log instruction:

log("clearlog")

and then the IDE intercept the "clearlog" text and clear the log window?

It make sense however it is more complicated than it might seem as the logs are written to the system logs and are then read from the system logs. This means that the same log message can be read multiple times.

Anyway, it might be added in the future.

I just write a line in the log so I can block out a section of the log, like:
log(" START -------------->>>")
' a lot of log lines ....
log("END <<<---------------")

That makes it easy to scroll back up because it is highly visible. The "Start" "End" can be replaced with the sub names like "[IMPORTDATA]" etc.
If there are a lot of lines in the log, I copy and paste it into an editor like NotePad++ to search on it. (Right click on log and select "Copy all to clipboard").

If I have a lot of log statements that do detailed debugging, I may wrap the detailed logs with #IF statements so I can turn off the detailed logs at any time and still have the other general purpose logs displayed.

#If LogDetail
log(" START -------------->>>")
#END IF
' a lot of log lines ....
#IF LogDetail
log("END <<<---------------")
#END IF

Hope this helps.
