Hello

Im using ROS Fuerte and Ubuntu 10.4. Would like to have some outputs of my nodes as a text file. Is there any option to time indexed those outputs?

Thanks

You can use the ROS Logging mechanism for that. Just output what you're interested in using the ROS_INFO or ROS_DEBUG mechanisms and record /rosout using rosbag, e.g.

rosbag record /rosout

you can then later play back all data with timestamps provided, and view them for example using rxconsole.

But I meaned something else. I have some outputs like velocitiy and diestance saves in txt file. So using my file option and my file open can the ouptuts parameters like velocity and distance saved in a txt file. My question is hot to time-indexed that output txt file. Understand?

You can use the same. Just record the textual program output instead of a bag.

So I record the textual program using rosbag record/ output.txt. Yes?

rosbag record records the messages in binary format. Just record your binaries raw text output as you would with any non-ros program, i.e. my_node > output.txt.

and how to play back the output data with timestamps provided?

In that case you need a logfile.
