Return of Reckoning

Hi!
I'm no addon maker, but I have a useful addon idea that's been taking a shape for last few weeks, and as I go on I need some advice on how to make it better. In this thread I'm gonna ask questions with a hope they get a useful answer that I'm going to incorporate into my addon.

First question would be

Is there any way to not include timestamps in log files? If no, it is not a big deal, but I would like to reduce log file size as much as I can, and timestamps are the first thing I would cut off.

Thanks!

If it is to boost performance, all you really need is to disable combat log - big fights is the place where ppl are struggling with low fps. You can do it with Enemy addon.

/script TextLogSetEnabled("Combat", false) - turns OFF combat log
/script TextLogSetEnabled("Combat", true) - turns ON combat log

Thanks, but that's not what I was talking about.
I'm making an addon that dumps some data when triggered to a log file in %WARROOT%\logs, and timestamp in these files is redundant and unnecessary, I would like to get rid of it.

Not to my knowledge. These are the TextLog functions available to the addon system for reading/writing:

TextLogAddEntry()
TextLogAddFilterType()
TextLogAddSingleByteEntry()
TextLogCreate()
TextLogDestroy()
TextLogDisplayShowScrollbar()
TextLogGetEnabled()
TextLogGetEntry()
TextLogGetIncrementalSaving()
TextLogGetNumEntries()
TextLogLoadFromFile()
TextLogSaveLog()
TextLogSetEnabled()
TextLogSetIncrementalSaving()

There are other functions to show/hide the timestamp in the UI, but I wasn't ever able to find any to stop it from being written to the saved log files.
