The second sentence in the documentation on defining a LOGFORMAT is: "Most people don't need to do this because analog can detect the format automatically -- try it first and see, because you will save yourself a lot of trouble!" Analog recognizes the sample line you have provided without any LOGFORMAT, provided it's all on one line. There is no possible LOGFORMAT that will allow Analog to recognize these entries if they are split over multiple lines, so you're wasting your time looking for an Analog solution to the problem of your e-mailed log files - it's not an Analog problem, so there is no Analog solution. Either get your provider to send the logs to you as a attachment (preferably zipped), or, if that's not possible for the existing logs, just use the search and replace function in a text editor that can recognize line ends. (You could use Word, for example). You can probably get 90% of the work done by deleting all carriage returns, and then replacing all occurences of )" by )"<carriage return> Aengus +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | This is the analog-help mailing list.
