If they're in different files, it would be no problem -- analog can read
both types of file.

So I assume they're in the same file. In which case, you can tell analog to
look for lines in both formats by commands like
LOGFORMAT common
LOGFORMAT combined
LOGFILE [your logfile here]

Thank you, just as your email came in I had (belatedly) found the section on
"Specifying a log format" in the Readme File. It is all laid out quite
clearly, so in future I will RTFM! The solution was Logformat Common then
Logformat Combined as you suggested.

Many thanks for producing just a good stats package.

That should have read
Many thanks for producing such a good stats package. (not just - I'm sure
you do other things as well)

Hi Aengus

Many thanks for your help with this. I'll have a go with it tomorrow.

Much appreciated

The log file is a plain text file with a .log extension, but that's not
what "logfile format" means, as you appear to know, but your service
provider doesn't :-(. The problem is that you have a "standard"
logformat with an additional field at the start - the "stpeterskinver.org: "
that your ISP is using to separate your logentries from everyone elses,
but in a location that can't be recognized automatically.

This LOGFORMAT matches the line you provided:
LOGFORMAT (%v: [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] %S %j %j "%j %r %j" %c %b "%f" "%B")

You can tell Analog where to put it's output with the OUTFILE command,
or +O command line parameter. But if you put it in a different
location, you may need to set the IMAGEDIR and CHARTDIR and LOCALCHARTDIR
settings too.
