Well, with unix utilities you can use the 'cat' command.
cat *.log > weekly.log
On Windows, you can append to files with something like this:
type daily1.log >> weekly.log
type daily2.log >> weekly.log
type daily3.log >> weekly.log
type daily4.log >> weekly.log
type daily5.log >> weekly.log
type daily6.log >> weekly.log
type daily7.log >> weekly.log
You could also use the 'for' command to do this in one line if you can
select the right logs with a wildcard pattern:
for %f in (daily*.log) do type %f >> weekly.log
HOWEVER, for Analog you do not need to do this. Analog can ready
multiple log files as easily as it reads one. Just add additional
LOGFILE commands, or use wildcard syntax. For the above files, you
could use this:
LOGFILE daily*.log
Or, running fro the command-line, just specify the log files when you
run:
analog *.log
