IRSSI New Log File

Is there a way to make IRSSI create a new log file for each day?
Currently I have IRSSI connected to about 7 channels and each
channel's log file will eventually get massive an unwieldy. Is there a
way to start a new file each day, or can I simply delete the file
while IRSSI is running to have it start a new file, without error?

I'm trying to do this without having to ever disconnect from IRSSI.

Thanks!

Yeah, you can modify the irssi log format to rotate based on time/day.
For example,

 /SET autolog_path ~/irclogs/%Y-%m-%d.log

%Y = Year

%m = Month

%d = Day
