List input parameters one per line in log file

[dkav]

Tool input parameters are currently reported in log files as:

Parameters:	['C:\\Users\\Sandeep\\Desktop\\Sumatra_GIS\\Linkage_Mapper_2_0_0\\Linkage_Mapper_2_0_0\\toolbox\\scripts\\lm_master.py', 'C:\\Users\\Sandeep\\Desktop\\BarrierMappingNew', 'SourceTest', 'Source', 'clipped_rast1.tif', 'true', 'true', 'Cost-Weighted & Euclidean', 'C:\\Users\\Sandeep\\Desktop\\BarrierMappingNew\\distances_SourceTest.txt', 'true', 'true', 'false', '4', 'Cost-Weighted', 'true', 'true', 'true', '200000', '#', '#', '#', '#', '#'] 

For clarity, list in a manner something like this:

Input Parameters

PROJECT DIR: C:\\Users\\Sandeep\\Desktop\\BarrierMappingNew
CORE LAYER: SourceTest
RESISTANCE LAYER: clipped_rast1.tif
...

Excellent idea! and low hanging fruit. It may be worth using comma separated values, so it can be pasted into a spreadsheet quickly. Then the second column can be pasted into a master spreadsheet for the project. I use such spreadsheets for projects. The top row is usually the Project directory name, and I usually make a new directory for each model run so I compile a suite of outputs to compare. Would be happy to share such a spreadsheet. The rows are all the most important parameters, from all the tools I'm using.

To meet the important use case I outlined above, the example would look like this:

Input Parameters (csv)

PROJECT DIR,C:\Users\Sandeep\Desktop\BarrierMappingNew
CORE LAYER,SourceTest
RESISTANCE LAYER,clipped_rast1.tif
...

If that is too ugly, I can add a search and replace to my workflow of getting this into a master table, Making it 7 steps instead of 6. Since : is already used by directory path values, making search and replace problematic, we can use = as follows

Input Parameters (csv)

PROJECT DIR = C:\Users\Sandeep\Desktop\BarrierMappingNew
CORE LAYER = SourceTest
RESISTANCE LAYER = clipped_rast1.tif

I'm happy with either one.

My vote is still for colon space. I find it more readable. That said, @johngallo you can use any delimiter for your use case. Just use the Text to Columns feature. See Excel 2013 – How to paste comma-separated values.

I realized after I made that last post that colon space will work just as well as space equalsign space in the use case. I'll just use the search and replace for colonspace, not colon. So yes, we are in consensus that colon space is the best delimiter. Thanks Darren.
