Well, difficult. Depending upon your needs, you can either copy the whole file, adding the timestamp at the the top, and rename it afterwards. Expensive to do. Or if you have to add more timestamps, you need to store it in some other "data structure", and export a log file on demand.
Other "data structure" might be a SQL database, a directory full of small entry files, or one file with a reversed flow. Basically files (in most OS environments) can only be appended to. Andreas
