Well, I can do that fine. Because I can't get the year from the log name, I am just working from the Date Created field instead (im doing this on a Windows box). This means that I have to assume the date the file was created, was when srcds created it ;)
If valve would simply make the log naming convention something simple like: srcds<yyyy><mm><dd> Or: Srcds<yyyy><dd><mm> Either one would be good, and would allow so much more control over the archiving process. I'm sure other larger game server providers are having the same gripe? If I had to manage hundreds of servers with the current log format on each, I would be pretty pissed.
