There is an LSL print() method

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Print

implemented in OpenSim which will print the text to the OpenSim.log if the OSSL threat level is set high, with text beginning LSL print():

Crudely, you could scan the log and extract lines beginning with this.

The heavyweight solution would be to write a region module that could log text 
sent to it via the modSendCommand() function

Another complex solution would be to have scripts which interface with an 
external webserver via the http LSL methods.

Writing to a notecard via osMakeNotecard might be another approach, though surprisingly there doesn't appear to be an OSSL function that writes lines to an existing notecard. Maybe there should be one.

I'm trying to use OpenSim for unusual purposes: psychological testing.  In 
order to give me information about what the user (or, more precisely, their

be processed afterwards.  The way I've been doing this without messing with how 
OpenSim works is to use llSay() with mute on, so that the text doesn't appear 
on the screen.

I'm not particularly happy with this solution so I thought of whispering 
instead.  I could use llWhisper() and in the configuration file set the whisper 
distance to 0.  Does anyone know if this would cause problems with anything 
else that goes on ?  Perhaps I should set the whisper distance to 0.000001 
instead.  Or someone may know of a completely different way to make a text log 
file.

Ideally I'd be using a special chat channel to do this: perhaps talk to channel 
0x7FFFFFFE might just put text directly in a file on disk without showing it on 
the screen.  It occurs to me that this could be a useful debugging tool for 
many users, not just myself, and should not interfer with much code which has 
already been written.  Perhaps it could be added to a future version of 
OpenSim.  Does anyone think this could be a reasonable feature request ?

Simon.
