Actually Analog looks for the next character that matches after a
variable. If the variable is followed by a space, then it looks for
the next space. If followed by a '/' it will look for a '/'.

You need two LOGFORMAT commands; one for the line with '-' and one for
the lines with names. Assuming the lines are similar to CLF, using the
formats in the docs, I would suggest these to start:

LOGFORMAT (%S %j - [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] "%j%w%r%wHTTP%j" %c %b)
LOGFORMAT (%S %j CN=%u/0=Disney [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] "%j%w%r%wHTTP%j" %c %b)

This will work as long as no usernames have a '/' in them.

It is preferable that you include 3 or 4 COMPLETE lines in the text of
your message than send a 28kb text attachment to all the members of
the list. The lines above (especially if complete) would have been
enough.
