Hi,
i hope you can help me,
I'm using IIS and i've got all these log files without the date in them,
the date is simply in the filename.
my question is, can analog get the date from the filename instead of
from each line of the logfile.
I believe this is the default setting for IIS to produce logfiles, so i
guess this must have happened to other people,
any help would be very much appreciated,
thanks,
Tom.
