Analog can't handle a user names in spaces when the log format uses
spaces as the field delimiter and the field isn't quoted. That situation
creates alot of ambiguity, even though a person can usualy see the corect
way to parse the line, it would be very difficult for a program to do the
same.
The only way to fix this would be to get your server to put quotes into
the log file. I see you added a LOGFORMAT with the extra quotes, now you
need to get your server to add the quotes as well. That should work.
Good Luck

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
