  • Just to clarify, do you want the hex values in string? Or do you want the variable names printed out with it? – thefett Oct 2 '17 at 11:05
  • Hi @thefett, thanks for your reply. I wanted to see the variable names printed out with it. Is that possible? – userDSSR Oct 2 '17 at 14:59

Just change the event to place the name first:

contract Test {

    uint public number;

    event Print(string _name, uint _value);

    function setnum(uint _num) public{
      number = _num;
      Print("number",number);
    }


}

  • Hi @thefett. This works for now but in a round about way. The variable name and the value falls in two separate lines and it requires the variable name to be hardcoded again in the event execution. I was trying to get the same format as the "decoded input" in the Log file, which has the variable name along with the value. I am not sure if that is possible for now. – userDSSR Oct 2 '17 at 16:28
  • Ah I see, I don't think it is possible without hardcoding it. The 'logs' portion is just the decoded logsBloom which you can see here: ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/3418/… is just stored data, so if you don't specify what you're storing, then it can't figure it out from just the logs data – thefett Oct 2 '17 at 17:38
