Hmmm, I'm not sure about this. Analog does a good job if the log is in one of the standard formats. This includes cases where the header lines give the format. But if it's in a custom format, analog doesn't even try. I think there is scope for a program to try and be smart about this. For example, to know that something of the form "Mozilla/n.m (stuff)" is a browser. I suspect it's a hard job though. -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "This is Henman's 8th Wimbledon, and he's only lost 7 matches."
