Hello, I work with a application that generates huge text files that are not XML based whatsoever. There is a structure but nothing that Chainsaw can read.
What I would like to do is to use chainsaw to read these files but I'm not sure how to proceed. (I've done a ton of searching but still am just spinning my wheels) Ideally I would like to just create some short of filter using regular expressions that would enable Chainsaw to read and parse the files. Q1: Is this possible/and is this documented enough that I can make it happen? Please send links! Q2: If I can't just create some sort of config file for Chainsaw, can I extend Chainsaw and add my own receiver. (My receiver being my code that I tell how to read the logs) If so, links please, can't find anything on how to get started with this! I'm not looking to do anything across sockets, this is entirely for offline reading. Q3: Failing on Q1 and Q2 I could write a standalone converter to convert my text logs got log4j but that seems very ugly. Any ideas/links and tips would be very, very appreciated. Currently I work with a group who reads these huge logs text editors and it sucks!
