batching execution for multiple log files
Hi,

I am doing "after the fact" reporting and have a bunch of daily log
files dating back 4 years...

Is there a way to batch the analog execution sequentially so that I
don't have to manipulate the filenames and make mistakes?

Any suggestions will be certainly appreciated.

Thanks.

Demetrio.

I'm not sure that I understand what you're trying to do. If you just want a single report for the activity over the last 4 years, just use LOGFILE *.LOG (assuming that you have enough RAM).

I can't think of any situation where manipulating the name of a logfile is needed to achieve something in Analog, (though it's obviously helpful when generating historical reports if the name of the logfile gives some indication of the time period that they cover). If you want to create daily or monthly reports, and your logfile are just names sequentially, (log001.log, log002.log, etc), then there's no way withing Analog itself to have Analog create the Jan07 report, then the Feb07 report, then the Mar07 report, etc.

Thanks. Aengus.
It would have created 1012 reports...
I concatenated the logfiles using MS DOS command line into one BIG
logfile...
Thanks.

No, LOGFILE *.LOG will creat ONE report containing the data from all the logfiles.

Analog has always allowed you to create a single report from multiple logfiles, even logfiles with different logformats.

OK. I did not know that. I am a novice at Analog.
Thanks, Aengus.
