Stream content in one record

[gaubert]

Is there a way to stream some content in a unique record.
I am using logbook in a project for great benefit, thanks.
In this project, we are spawning bash script processes and getting the stdout/sderr logs of those processes.
At the moment we are keeping all stdout/stderr lines in a string buffer (StringIO) and then dumping everyting in a log book record at the end of the process execution. This is fine but some processes are taking several minutes and during that time, I am blind as I have based all the logging on logbook.
Is there a simple way to get the corresponding logbook string buffer in that case and continue writing in the file ?
Indeed to avoid poluting the reporting, we would like to have all the script outputs contained in one record ?

So to sum up I would in particular case to write within the same record with multiple write message call and not a unique one as it is currently available. Is it possible with a bit of development. Is there an example ?

Many thanks in advance.

Assuming your output is line-based, the right thing to do is emit the lines one-by-one, but that would make the log slightly harder to read. Another option is to separate that output to a separate log file

Yes it is line base by I do not want to have a date and message type for each line. I would like to also avoid using another file if possble. is there a way to have access to the string buffer of logbook and write into it ? Then when ready call a method to release and write the message in the log file with just one date ?
If not I will continue doing as I do now, buffering everything and write all the lines in one logbook message at the end once the process has exited.

Thanks

I don't fully understand what you're suggesting.... If you had access to the handler's internal stream you would be doing essentially the same thing - interleaving your output lines along with the "regular" log lines... Can you scribble a suggested API you have in mind?
