Logging with a smile 😃 | Creative-Scripts.com

The ability to see snapshots of a script progress throughout it's execution is crucial for the writing and debugging of complex scripts. There are scripters who are dependent on using the ESTK for developing scripts for the most of Adobe's well know products like InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premier Pro and After Effects to name but a few. What they do not appreciate is the degree of handicap they are inflicting on themselves because of their dependency. I'll probably discus this topic in the future, don't get me wrong I'm not saying that there is no place for using the ESTK just that it should be used cautiously as an exception. I want to show that the use of the ESTK for the purpose of writing to the console is a bad idea.

OK for your little 20 line snippet it's not necessarily exactly the end of the world, but one has to know that writing to the ESTK console is really incredibly slow, it's comes out pretty illegible, trying to find one entry amongst a multitude of other is no pleasure to put it mildly. There's no keeping of the output from session to session and there's no built in search and find for the console. The use of the alert function has obvious problems, again I'm not saying there's no place for it just that it's very lacking.

An effective well known and well practiced solution is logging. There are many logging API's, I wrote this one to for Adobe JSX scripts to suit my needs. It's very quick, easy to use, produces easy to read and informative logs and has an extensive API. A minor feature of the API is the use of emojis for emphasizing individual log entries so they can be found and categorized quickly, perhaps the implementation here is a bit of an overkill and it would be better to remove a lot of the available emojis.

// LogFactory.jsx Ver 1 By Trevor 6rd Mar 2017 http://www.creative-scripts.com/logging-with-a-smile/ Provided 'as is', with no warranty whatsoever. This line may not be removed.

NOTE: For all the snippets below and for general usage of the API either paste the above 2 lines or the verbose 949 line version to the beginning of your code or include it by using the #include directive.
The full API is explained below and the full readable LogFactory.jsx script can be found at the end of the post.

Included Features:
Leveled logging (See below for the meaning of this if you don't know) 👀
Writing and reading level cookies so the log level can be changed without changing the script 👀
Multiple instances of log files 👀
Writing the log to the computers memory and extracting entry ranges of the log 👀
Methods for logging all the arguments of a function and values of variables 👀
A method for logging new objects created as per the $.summary() result 👀
A method for showing the call stack 👀
Different timing methods 👀
🐥 Most importantly easily and quickly produces clear numbered logs with their status and time stamp 👀
And last and least emoji's 🤓

Note:
🤐 The script is made for use on almost all of Adobe's scriptable applications (Acrobat being a noticeable exception) which run extended script. It will not function as is from the js side of an extension, changing the file functions here to work in an extension and or NodeJS environment should be a very simple task. If there's enough demand, maybe I'll do it.
🤐 The script could have been written more efficiently if it was written on a ProtoType bases, I did not do this as I wanted to just be able to add logs using the simple command log('foo'); and not something like console.log('foo');. O.k. I know I could have got around that easily using other methods like function log(){return console.log(arguments);} but the method as it is handles thousands of logs per second and is not going to blow the systems memory so there you have it. I have a simple NodeJS version that can easily vomit 100,000 logs per second, but 10,000 / second should cover most needs.

LogFactory.jsx API For easy creation of leveled logs

LogFactory(file, write, store, level, status, continuing) The LogFactory function is used for the creation of the log factory. It returns the LOG function, the LOG function has different arguments than the LogFactory function they are explained below.
PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
file	String or File Object	Accepts either the File Object or a String of the full path to the log or just the file name of the log in which case it will be place in the systems temporary folder. [Optional – default: If a path was previously set then that path will be used otherwise the log file will be created in the temporary folder and called LOG_Script Name_Year_Month_Date.log for example LOG_Script2_2017_Feb_21.log]. See the note to the log.setFile() method.
write	Boolean	If to write the logs to disk [Optional – default: true]. See the note to the log.setFile() method.
store	Boolean	If to store the logs in the computers memory [Optional – default: false]. See the note to the log.get() method.
level	String or Integer	The level from which to record the log [Optional – default: 2]. See the log.setLevel() method.
status	String	The default log status [Optional – default: LOG]. See the log.setLevel() and log.setStatus() methods.
continuing	Boolean	If the log count should continue from the last count in an existing file [Optional – default: false]. See the note to the log.setCount() method.
RETURNS	Function	The created LOG factory function
NOTES	The LogFactory function should always be preceded with the `new` word i.e. `var log = new LogFactory();`

var log2 = new LogFactory();

LOG(message, status, icon) After instantiating the log factory one has access to the LOG function. All methods and properties used in managing the log output after its creation are via the LOG function.
PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
message	All Types	The message to be sent to the log. If no argument is placed in the log function then no logging will occur, however if `undefined` is passed then the string undefined will be logged. Any type of value can be passed, see the examples below.
status	String	The status to give the entry. Different statuses are assigned different log levels, this point is explained in the log level section below. Any string may be use, recognized statuses may be referred to with the abbreviations listed below. The statuses and their abbreviations are not case sensitive and will always be outputted in uppercase. Only entries matching or greater than the logging level will be added. Level 0 – Custom statuses Level 1 – RE: 'RESULT', ST: 'STOPPER', TI: 'TIMER', T: 'TRACE' Level 2 – D: 'DEBUG', L: 'LOG', CO: 'CONSTANT', F: 'FUNCTION', R: 'RETURN', V: 'VARIABLE', S: 'STACK' Level 3 – I: 'INFO', IM: 'IMPORTANT' Level 4 – W: 'WARNING' Level 5 – B: 'BUG', C: 'CRITICAL', E: 'ERROR' Level 6 – FA: 'FATAL' [Optional – default: the set default status – "LOG" if default status was not set]
icon	String	The icon to precede the message [Optional – default: no icon] Recognized icons: 1: 🕐, 130: 🕜, 2: 🕑, 230: 🕝, 3: 🕒, 330: 🕞, 4: 🕓, 430: 🕟, 5: 🕔, 530: 🕠, 6: 🕕, 630: 🕡, 7: 🕖, 730: 🕢, 8: 🕗, 830: 🕣, 9: 🕘, 930: 🕤, 10: 🕙, 1030: 🕥, 11: 🕚, 1130: 🕦, 12: 🕛, 1230: 🕧, AIRPLANE: 🛩, ALARM: ⏰, AMBULANCE: 🚑, ANCHOR: ⚓, ANGRY: 😠, ANGUISHED: 😧, ANT: 🐜, ANTENNA: 📡, APPLE: 🍏, APPLE2: 🍎, ATM: 🏧, ATOM: ⚛, BABYBOTTLE: 🍼, BAD: 👎, BANANA: 🍌, BANDAGE: 🤕, BANK: 🏦, BATTERY: 🔋, BED: 🛏, BEE: 🐝, BEER: 🍺, BELL: 🔔, BELLOFF: 🔕, BIRD: 🐦, BLACKFLAG: 🏴, BLUSH: 😊, BOMB: 💣, BOOK: 📕, BOOKMARK: 🔖, BOOKS: 📚, BOW: 🏹, BOWLING: 🎳, BRIEFCASE: 💼, BROKEN: 💔, BUG: 🐛, BUILDING: 🏛, BUILDINGS: 🏘, BULB: 💡, BUS: 🚌, CACTUS: 🌵, CALENDAR: 📅, CAMEL: 🐪, CAMERA: 📷, CANDLE: 🕯, CAR: 🚘, CAROUSEL: 🎠, CASTLE: 🏰, CATEYES: 😻, CATJOY: 😹, CATMOUTH: 😺, CATSMILE: 😼, CD: 💿, CHECK: ✔, CHEQFLAG: 🏁, CHICK: 🐥, CHICKEN: 🐔, CHICKHEAD: 🐤, CIRCLEBLACK: ⚫, CIRCLEBLUE: 🔵, CIRCLERED: 🔴, CIRCLEWHITE: ⚪, CIRCUS: 🎪, CLAPPER: 🎬, CLAPPING: 👏, CLIP: 📎, CLIPBOARD: 📋, CLOUD: 🌨, CLOVER: 🍀, CLOWN: 🤡, COLDSWEAT: 😓, COLDSWEAT2: 😰, COMPRESS: 🗜, CONFOUNDED: 😖, CONFUSED: 😕, CONSTRUCTION: 🚧, CONTROL: 🎛, COOKIE: 🍪, COOKING: 🍳, COOL: 😎, COOLBOX: 🆒, COPYRIGHT: ©, CRANE: 🏗, CRAYON: 🖍, CREDITCARD: 💳, CROSS: ✖, CROSSBOX: ❎, CRY: 😢, CRY2: 😥, CRYCAT: 😿, CRYSTALBALL: 🔮, CUSTOMS: 🛃, DELICIOUS: 😋, DERELICT: 🏚, DESKTOP: 🖥, DIAMONDLB: 🔷, DIAMONDLO: 🔶, DIAMONDSB: 🔹, DIAMONDSO: 🔸, DICE: 🎲, DISAPPOINTED: 😞, DIVISION: ➗, DIZZY: 😵, DOLLAR: 💵, DOLLAR2: 💲, DOWNARROW: ⬇, DVD: 📀, EJECT: ⏏, ELEPHANT: 🐘, EMAIL: 📧, ENVELOPE: 📨, ENVELOPE2: ✉, ENVELOPE_DOWN: 📩, EURO: 💶, EVIL: 😈, EXPRESSIONLESS: 😑, EYES: 👀, FACTORY: 🏭, FAX: 📠, FEARFUL: 😨, FILEBOX: 🗃, FILECABINET: 🗄, FIRE: 🔥, FIREENGINE: 🚒, FIST: 👊, FLOWER: 🌷, FLOWER2: 🌸, FLUSHED: 😳, FOLDER: 📁, FOLDER2: 📂, FREE: 🆓, FROG: 🐸, FROWN: 🙁, GEAR: ⚙, GLOBE: 🌍, GLOWINGSTAR: 🌟, GOOD: 👍, GRIMACING: 😬, GRIN: 😀, GRINNINGCAT: 😸, HALO: 😇, HAMMER: 🔨, HAMSTER: 🐹, HAND: ✋, HANDDOWN: 👇, HANDLEFT: 👈, HANDRIGHT: 👉, HANDUP: 👆, HATCHING: 🐣, HAZARD: ☣, HEADPHONE: 🎧, HEARNOEVIL: 🙉, HEARTBLUE: 💙, HEARTEYES: 😍, HEARTGREEN: 💚, HEARTYELLOW: 💛, HELICOPTER: 🚁, HERB: 🌿, HIGH_BRIGHTNESS: 🔆, HIGHVOLTAGE: ⚡, HIT: 🎯, HONEY: 🍯, HOT: 🌶, HOURGLASS: ⏳, HOUSE: 🏠, HUGGINGFACE: 🤗, HUNDRED: 💯, HUSHED: 😯, ID: 🆔, INBOX: 📥, INDEX: 🗂, JOY: 😂, KEY: 🔑, KISS: 😘, KISS2: 😗, KISS3: 😙, KISS4: 😚, KISSINGCAT: 😽, KNIFE: 🔪, LABEL: 🏷, LADYBIRD: 🐞, LANDING: 🛬, LAPTOP: 💻, LEFTARROW: ⬅, LEMON: 🍋, LIGHTNINGCLOUD: 🌩, LINK: 🔗, LITTER: 🚮, LOCK: 🔒, LOLLIPOP: 🍭, LOUDSPEAKER: 📢, LOW_BRIGHTNESS: 🔅, MAD: 😜, MAGNIFYING_GLASS: 🔍, MASK: 😷, MEDAL: 🎖, MEMO: 📝, MIC: 🎤, MICROSCOPE: 🔬, MINUS: ➖, MOBILE: 📱, MONEY: 💰, MONEYMOUTH: 🤑, MONKEY: 🐵, MOUSE: 🐭, MOUSE2: 🐁, MOUTHLESS: 😶, MOVIE: 🎥, MUGS: 🍻, NERD: 🤓, NEUTRAL: 😐, NEW: 🆕, NOENTRY: 🚫, NOTEBOOK: 📔, NOTEPAD: 🗒, NUTANDBOLT: 🔩, O: ⭕, OFFICE: 🏢, OK: 🆗, OKHAND: 👌, OLDKEY: 🗝, OPENLOCK: 🔓, OPENMOUTH: 😮, OUTBOX: 📤, PACKAGE: 📦, PAGE: 📄, PAINTBRUSH: 🖌, PALETTE: 🎨, PANDA: 🐼, PASSPORT: 🛂, PAWS: 🐾, PEN: 🖊, PEN2: 🖋, PENSIVE: 😔, PERFORMING: 🎭, PILL: 💊, PING: ❗, PLATE: 🍽, PLUG: 🔌, PLUS: ➕, POLICE: 🚓, POLICELIGHT: 🚨, POSTOFFICE: 🏤, POUND: 💷, POUTING: 😡, POUTINGCAT: 😾, PRESENT: 🎁, PRINTER: 🖨, PROJECTOR: 📽, PUSHPIN: 📌, QUESTION: ❓, RABBIT: 🐰, RADIOACTIVE: ☢, RADIOBUTTON: 🔘, RAINCLOUD: 🌧, RAT: 🐀, RECYCLE: ♻, REGISTERED: ®, RELIEVED: 😌, ROBOT: 🤖, ROCKET: 🚀, ROLLING: 🙄, ROOSTER: 🐓, RULER: 📏, SATELLITE: 🛰, SAVE: 💾, SCHOOL: 🏫, SCISSORS: ✂, SCREAMING: 😱, SCROLL: 📜, SEAT: 💺, SEEDLING: 🌱, SEENOEVIL: 🙈, SHIELD: 🛡, SHIP: 🚢, SHOCKED: 😲, SHOWER: 🚿, SLEEPING: 😴, SLEEPY: 😪, SLIDER: 🎚, SLOT: 🎰, SMILE: 🙂, SMILING: 😃, SMILINGCLOSEDEYES: 😆, SMILINGEYES: 😄, SMILINGSWEAT: 😅, SMIRK: 😏, SNAIL: 🐌, SNAKE: 🐍, SOCCER: ⚽, SOS: 🆘, SPEAKER: 🔈, SPEAKEROFF: 🔇, SPEAKNOEVIL: 🙊, SPIDER: 🕷, SPIDERWEB: 🕸, STAR: ⭐, STOP: ⛔, STOPWATCH: ⏱, SULK: 😦, SUNFLOWER: 🌻, SUNGLASSES: 🕶, SYRINGE: 💉, TAKEOFF: 🛫, TAXI: 🚕, PHONE: 📞, TELESCOPE: 🔭, TEMPORATURE: 🤒, TENNIS: 🎾, THERMOMETER: 🌡, THINKING: 🤔, THUNDERCLOUD: ⛈, TICKBOX: ✅, TICKET: 🎟, TIRED: 😫, TOILET: 🚽, TOMATO: 🍅, TONGUE: 😛, TOOLS: 🛠, TORCH: 🔦, TORNADO: 🌪, TOUNG2: 😝, TRADEMARK: ™, TRAFFICLIGHT: 🚦, TRASH: 🗑, TREE: 🌲, TRIANGLE_LEFT: ◀, TRIANGLE_RIGHT: ▶, TRIANGLEDOWN: 🔻, TRIANGLEUP: 🔺, TRIANGULARFLAG: 🚩, TROPHY: 🏆, TRUCK: 🚚, TRUMPET: 🎺, TURKEY: 🦃, TURTLE: 🐢, UMBRELLA: ⛱, UNAMUSED: 😒, UPARROW: ⬆, UPSIDEDOWN: 🙃, WARNING: ⚠, WATCH: ⌚, WAVING: 👋, WEARY: 😩, WEARYCAT: 🙀, WHITEFLAG: 🏳, WINEGLASS: 🍷, WINK: 😉, WORRIED: 😟, WRENCH: 🔧, X: ❌, YEN: 💴, ZIPPERFACE: 🤐
RETURNS	String	The created log entry
NOTES	The LogFactory function will only be used once at the creation of the factory. After it's creation only the LOG function is used. The reference to the LOG method will be the name of variable used for the creation of the new log factory. Our examples are based on `var log = new LogFactory();` The log output will be in the form of. `[1] [INFO] 💰Payment received [Sun Mar 05 2017 10:05:02 GMT+0200 562ms]` `[Line number] [Status] (icon)message [Day Month Date Year Hours:Minutes:Seconds Time zone ms]`

Examples

var log = new LogFactory('myLog.log');
log(); 	              // => Won't do anything
log(undefined);       // => Will log the word "undefined" with the default "LOG" status
log('Hello');
log('Death', 'fa');   // => Will log the word "Death" with the default "FATAL" status
log('Payment received', 'i', 'money'); // => Will add an Icon

var log = new LogFactory('myLog.log');

log(); // => Won't do anything

log(undefined); // => Will log the word "undefined" with the default "LOG" status

LOG METHODS

METHOD	DESCRIPTION
setLevel	Sets the level from which the logs should be logged. This can also be set at the creation of the log factory using the level parameter of the LogFactory function.
cookie	For reading and writing log level cookies for for the setting of the log level.
setStatus	For setting the default log status. This can also be set at the creation of the log factory using the status parameter of the LogFactory function.
setFile	For setting file were the log will be written to. This can also be set at the creation of the log factory using the file parameter of the LogFactory function.
get	For retrieving individual or ranges of log entries. This will only work if the store parameter of the LogFactory function or the `log.store` argument are set to true
args	Logs information about a function and it's augments. This is a nice method and worth looking at even if the rest of the post doesn't interest you
values	Logs the values of an object or array.
sumDiff	Shows the difference between $.summary() calls. Cheers Dirk 🍺
stack	Logs the call stack.
file	Returns the log file object (if there is one).
execute	Opens the log file with the systems default application for opening the files with the suffix you have allocated to the log.
show	This method is exactly the same as the show execute.
openFolder	Opens the log folder containing the log file with Finder or Windows Explorer.
close	Closes the log file.
setCount	Sets the log count for the next log entry.
reset	Resets the log factory to more or less it's default settings.
stopper	For timing between 2 points.
start	Registers a start point that will be matched by a pairing log.stop() call for timing purposes.
stop	Logs timing information from a matching start point created using log.start().
NOTES	Click the method to jump to it.

LOG PROPERTIES

PROPERTY	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
count	Integer	The count of the next log entry. See also the log.setCount() method.
level	Integer	Sets the minimum log level from which logs are processed It is normally recommended to set the value either on creating the new LogFactory using `log = new LogFactory({level: 'DEBUG'});` or the log.setLevel() and log.cookie() methods all of which accept Strings and not just Integers which are the only valid type that the log.level accepts. See below "Log Levels and Statuses"
status	String	The default log status. Can be set on creating the new LogFactory using `log = new LogFactory({status: 'ERROR'});` or by using the log.setStatus() methods.
store	Boolean	If to store the logs in the computers memory Can be set on creating the new LogFactory using `log = new LogFactory({store: true});` See the log.get() method for the purpose of doing this.
write	Boolean	If to write the logs to disk Can be set on creating the new LogFactory using `log = new LogFactory({write: false});`

Log Levels and Statuses
Each status has an associated log level assigned to it, these are listed below, by changing the log level one can filter out which log entries will be processed. You might while developing a script want to set the log level to log all debug logs and when done with debugging change the log level to error of fatal so only those levels will be logged.
The logging level can either be set on the creation of the log factory or by using the log.setLevel() method or by directly setting the log.level value.

log.setLevel(level) Sets the level from which the logs should be logged.
PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
level	String or Integer	The level from which the logs should be logged. Any of the below values may be used, they are not case-sensitive. Each row of levels 0, ALL, YES, YEP, TRUE 1, TRACE, RESULT, STOPPER, TIMER, tr, re, st, ti, t 2, DEBUG, LOG, STACK, CONSTANT, FUNCTION, VARIABLE, RETURN, d, l, co, f, r, v, s 3, INFO, IMPORTANT, ON, i, im 4, WARN, WARNING, w 5, ERROR, BUG, CRITICAL, e, b, c 6, FATAL, FA 7, NONE, OFF, NONE, NOPE, FALSE [Optional – default: 2]
RETURNS	Integer	The level from which the logs should be logged
NOTES	Log entries whose status is equal or higher than the set level will be logged. The log level can be also set at the creation of the log factory `var log = new LogFactory({level: 'info'})` or by setting the level directly `log.level = 3;` if the level is set directly only integer values are valid.

log.cookie(file, level, overwrite, setLevel) For reading and writing log level cookies for for the setting of the log level.
PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
file	String or File Object	The file path of the log cookie. The same rules apply for the file cookie file name as in the log.setFile() method, as such the file name and path might not be the expected one. The actual cookie file path can be extracted from the object returned by the method. [Optional – default: A cookie file will be created in the temporary folder and called COOKIE_Script Name_Year_Month_Date.txt for example COOKIE_Script2_2017_Feb_21.txt effectively leaving out the file name creates a temporary cookie that will be valid until midnight]
level	String or Integer	The level from which the logs should be logged. [Optional – default: NONE] The level object accepts any of the values listed by the setLevel() method.
overwrite	Boolean	If the cookie should be overwritten if it already exists [Optional – default: false]
setLevel	Boolean	If the log level should be set to the cookies level value [Optional – default: true]
RETURNS	Object	{path: The actual path of the file cookie, level: the integer value of the level}
NOTES	A typical usage of the log.cookie method would be in a distributed production script. Normally one wouldn't want the log to be automatically created, instead one would want a method for the user to activate the logging by either manually changing the contents of the log cookie or by using a provided UI option. This method also accepts use an object in the form of `var myCookie = log.cookie({file: 'myCookie.txt', level: 'error', overwrite: true, setLevel: true});`

var log = new LogFactory('myDebugLog.log');

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

log.setFile(file) For setting file were the log will be written to.
PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
file	String of File Object	Accepts either the File Object or a String of the full path to the log or just the file name of the log in which case it will be place in the systems temporary folder. [Optional – default: If a path was previously set then that path will be used otherwise the log file will be created in the temporary folder and called LOG_Script Name_Year_Month_Date.log for example LOG_Script2_2017_Feb_21.log]
RETURNS	File Object	The File Object (which may or may not yet exist)
NOTES	The log will only be written to (and created) if the log.write value is true (which is it's default value). If it's not the file will be ready to be created as soon as a log is entered after setting the log.write value value to true. The log entries also have to be of a status equal or higher than the log level (the default log level is 2). The setFile method uses a systematic fail back file naming process in the event that the log file cannot be written to. If the given path can not be used (for example the files for some reason set to readonly) then a date integer will be added to the name. i.e. if the path '~/Documents/myLog.log' couldn't be written to then '~/Documents/myLog_1485181571090.log' will be tired. If that doesn't work then try the original name in the temp directory path/to/temp/directory/myLog.log. If that's no good then try a safe name in the temp folder path/to/temp/directory/LOG_1485181571090.log.

var log = new LogFactory({write: false});
log.setFile('~/Documents/myLog.log'); // => No log created yet
log('Howdey');    // => diddly-squat
log.write = true; // now the next log will do something
log('Hi again');  // => Now the file '~/Documents/myLog.log' will be created (if it didn't already exist)
                  // The entry 'Hi again' will be logged.

var log = new LogFactory({write: false});

log.setFile('~/Documents/myLog.log'); // => No log created yet

log('Howdey'); // => diddly-squat

log.write = true; // now the next log will do something

log('Hi again'); // => Now the file '~/Documents/myLog.log' will be created (if it didn't already exist)

// The entry 'Hi again' will be logged.

log.get() For retrieving individual or ranges of log entries.
PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
	Integer or Array of 2 Integers	The log line or log range to be returned. If an Integer n is given then log entry n will be returned. If an array [start, end] is given then the range of log entries from start to end with be returned. Negative integers can be given -1 is the last entry -2 is the second last entry 1 is the first entry [Optional – default: [1, -1] i.e. the entire log store]
	Integer or Array	Same as above. The more argument you use the more log lines or ranges will be returned
RETURNS	String	The strings of the selected log entries
NOTES	The log entires can only be fetched if the logs are stored in the computers memory. By default the log.store value is set to false the logs are NOT stored in the computers memory. To store the logs in the computers memory either at the creation of the log factory set the store value to true `var log = new LogFactory({store: true});` or directly set `log.store = true`. When on earth would you want to do this? With small production scripts which are not overly logging and you generally don't need the logs, you can store the logs just in the memory by setting the log.write value to false and the log.store value to true. You can then access the log if needed in a try catch error report. Normally you might use something like `alert('The last 20 log entries were\n' + log.get([-20, -1]));`

var r, n, log = new LogFactory({
    file: 'mySillyLog.log',
    store: true, // CRUCIAL!!!!
    write: false
});
try {
    for (n = 1; n < 1000; n++) {
        log('Log entry [' + n + '] ([' + (n - 1000) + '] from the end)');
    }
    BUG
} catch (e) {
    log.write = true;
    r = log.get([1, 3], 10, [-10, -8], -3, -1);

log.args(args, funct, line) Logs information about a function and it's augments.
PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
args	Function Augments	The arguments of the function. Normally this would be the arguments of the function that calls the log.args() method, in which case one would use `log.args(augments);` the word `augments` should not be placed in quotes.
funct	Function	The function whose arguments are being parsed. Currently (2017) Adobe's extended script is based on ECMA version 3 (Published December 1999), the rest of the world is using version 7 (Published June 2016), hey not much changes in 4 versions and 16½+ of a highly developing language! As such the function can be retrieved from it's arguments using arguments.callee, from version 5 this is not allowed in strict mode. As such this argument is included as a prayer that Adobe will update their JavaScript version. [Optional – currently not needed]
line	Integer	You can include the line number that the method was called from by using `log.args(augments, $.line)`. If the funct parameter is not passed then the second parameter will be the line parameter. [Optional – none]
RETURNS	String	The string of log entry produced
NOTES	The log entry is allocated a "Function" status. If no value is provided for the functions named arguments then the value shown will be "NO VALUE PROVIDED". If a value is provided for the functions non-named arguments then the argument name shown will be arguments[n] where n is the index of the argument.

log.values(values) Logs the values of an object or array.
PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
values	Object or Array	The Object or Array whose values one wants mapped. This function is a useful way of capturing information on multiple variables. In a case where one wants to get a snapshot of the values a, b, c one can use `log.values({a:a , b:b, c:c});`

log.sumDiff(message) Shows the difference between $.summary() calls.
PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
message	String	Message to be added to the log entry.
RETURNS	String	The string of log entry produced.
NOTES	This method is for seeing how many wanted or unwanted variables you have created. Are you a tidy sort of guy or a dirty slob? Thanks to Dirk Becker for permission to use his $.summary.difference() function, Cheers Dirk 🍺. The implementation here automatically calls garbage collection before execution.

Note: If you try the snippet on a persistent engine for example Illustrator then the results will differ from those shown here.

log.execute() & log.show() Opens the log file with the systems default application for opening the files with the suffix you have allocated to the log.
RETURNS	Boolean	If the file was opened.
NOTES	With log save with a .log suffix the Mac will normally open the log with the Mac Console program. This in my opinion is pretty satisfactory. On Windows you will need to designate a program as the default program for opening .log files. I use Sublime Text. If you can call your log whatever your want (within reason), .txt, .html, .etc. and have a different default program open the log.

log.openFolder() Opens the log folder containing the log file with Finder or Windows Explorer
RETURNS	Boolean	If the folder was opened.

log.close() Closes the log file.
RETURNS	Boolean	If the file was closed.
NOTES	This is for tidy people who don't like to leave files open

log.setCount(file) Sets the log count for the next log entry.
PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
file	Integer or File Object or String	Accepts an integer to set the count to a specified number or the File Object of a log file or a String of the full path of the log file. [Optional – default: The current log file]. If the count is retrieved from a log file then the next log count will continue from the last entry of that file.
RETURNS	Integer	The log count for the next log entry.
NOTES	This method is could be used if one is controlling multiple log files with a single log factory. The count property can be set directly using `log.count = n;` where n is an integer.

log.reset(all) Resets the log factory to more or less it's default settings
PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
all	Boolean	If just the log store (i.e. the logs stored in the computers memory in the event that the factory was set up to remember them) and count should be reset or all the setting should be reset (like a factory reset on a phone). [Optional – default: true]

Timing Methods
These timing methods are to give a rough time of the execution of parts of the script.
For a more accurate method of timing function times I've posted my thoughts and a snippet on the Adobe InDesign scripting forum.

log.stopper(message) For timing between 2 points.
message	String	The message that should be displayed before the log timing information [Optional – default: none].
RETURNS	String	The log produced.
NOTES	This method is records the time lapsed between one stopper call and the next, automatically including the log counts of the points. I differs from the `log.start()` and `log.stop()` timing methods which interact with each other as pairs in the way that brackets do see the snippet by those methods.

var log = new LogFactory({
	file:'myLog.log',
	level:'trace' // CRUCIAL needs to be set to level 1 or 0
	});
log.stopper();
var a, b, c;
for (a = 0; a < 10000; a++) {
    b = 2 * a;
    c = 3 * b;
}
log.stopper('1st loop');
for (a = 0; a < 100; a++) {
    b = 2 * a;
    c = 3 * b;
}
log.stopper('2nd loop');

var log = new LogFactory({

file:'myLog.log',

level:'trace' // CRUCIAL needs to be set to level 1 or 0

});

log.stopper();

var a, b, c;

for (a = 0; a < 10000; a++) {

b = 2 * a;

c = 3 * b;

}

log.stopper('1st loop');

for (a = 0; a < 100; a++) {

b = 2 * a;

c = 3 * b;

}

log.stopper('2nd loop');

log.start(message) Registers a start point that will be matched by a pairing log.stop() call for timing purposes.
message	String	The message that goes before the start timing information. [Optional – default: none].
NOTES	This method is used to provide a starting point from which the `log.end()` method times. See that method for when these methods would be used. The logs produced by this method are assigned a "TIMER" level 1 status as such by default they will NOT be recorded. To enable this method set the log level to 1 or 0

log.stop(message) Logs timing information from a matching start point created using log.start().
message	String	The message that goes before the stop timing information. [Optional – default: none].
RETURNS	String	The log produced.
NOTES	This method with it's matching `log.start()` method is useful for when both an outer and inner timing is required, for example, the time it takes for the execution of an entire script (of set of scripts) and sections of that script and of individual functions within those sections of the script. Each `log.stop()` method must have a matching `log.start()` method to which it is paired in the manner that brackets are, i.e. inner to inner, outer to outer. The logs produced by this method are assigned a "TIMER" level 1 status as such by default they will NOT be recorded. To enable this method set the log level to 1 or 0

// May be used on condition that this comment block is left in //

// May not be distributed on the Web (A link to http://www.creative-scripts.com/logging-with-a-smile/ is allowed) //

// //

// DESCRIPTION: A LogFactory with some extras //

// Provided 'as is', with no warranty whatsoever. //

// Use and adapted the function freely providing you leave in these comment lines and specify if you have made adaptations //

// Redistribution on the Web is not allowed. //

// The function is wrapped by the LogFactory so that multiple logs can be maintained simultaneously //

// THANKS OKO see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31232157/what-is-the-best-way-to-copy-but-not-clone-a-function-in-javascript/31235167#31235167 //

// Minimal Instructions //

// 1) Paste or #include the LogFactory.jsx to the start of the script. (One can use either the full version or the squished one) //

// 2) Set up the log file //

// var log = new LogFactory('pathToLogFile'); // a few other options here can be added //

// 3) Do some logging //

// log('hello world'); // logs with default status //

// log('hello world', 'i'); // logs with 'Info' status //

// log('hello world', 't', 'happy'); // logs with 'Trace' status with a smile //

// For detailed instructions see http://www.creative-scripts.com/logging-with-a-smile/ //

* All keys in the object are optional

* (Use of the object for is recommended if not using default values for the other arguments)

* Default file value is pathToTempFolder/LOG_Script Name_Year_Month_Date.log for example LOG_Script2_2017_Feb_21.log

* See LOG.setFile below

* @param {Boolean} write [Optional] Whether or not to write to the log file

* Default true

* See LOG.get() below

* @param {Boolean} store [Optional] Whether or not to store to the log file as an array in memory

* Default false

* See LOG.setLevel below

* @param {Boolean} continuing [Optional] Whether or not the log numbering continues from the previous entry recorded in the log

* If false the log count will restart each time a new LogFactory is created

* If true and the already log exists the next log entry will continue from the last log count

* Default false

* See LOG.setLevel below

* @returns {Function} The LOG function If one does var log = new LogFactory('myLog.log');

* One can then start using log('hello world');
