The service provided for my own and three other sites I manage has just started to send the daily logs as gz files attached to an e-mail.
Having tediously saved the gz files to the correct directories I would like to use the Uncompress command in Analog to extract the data, using WinZip v8.1. Note the Command Line version of WinZip will not do this at the moment as it can only extract zip files and not gz files. After some discussion with WinZip Help I discovered that from the Command Prompt, whilst in the Analog directory, I could extract a single file with the following command:- analog 5.24>"c:\program files\utils\winzip\winzip32" -e "..\webstats\logs\www.thewendyhse.co.uk-2002-08-22.log.gz" ..\webstats\logs\ This command does not work with wildcards, you need to have the exact filename, further discussion produced the following command, which will extract the contents of all the gz files in the specified directory analog 5.24>FOR %n in (..\webstats\logs\*.gz) DO "C:\Program Files\Utils\Winzip\winzip32" -e %n ..\webstats\logs\ I then added this command to my analog configuration file, after the Logfile command, I also tried placing it before Logfile. I have a standard analog.cfg file set-up, together with a series of additional configuration files to produce specific reports for specific sites. The uncompress command was added to the specific configuration files, though I also tried it with the main configuration file, but get the same message. UNCOMPRESS FOR %n in (..\webstats\logs\*.gz) DO "C:\Program Files\Utils\Winzip\winzip32" -e %n ..\webstats\logs\) and received the following on-screen message analog 5.24>analog +gtwh-2002.cfg analog: analog version 5.24/Win32 F: Closing configuration file analog.cfg F: Opening twh-2002.cfg as configuration file analog: Warning C: Too many arguments for configuration command: ignoring end of line starting: UNCOMPRESS FOR %n in (..\webstats\logs\*.gz" DO (For help on all errors and warnings, see docs/errors.html) F: Closing configuration file twh-2002.cfg Interestingly, Analog ignores whichever command which immediately follows Uncompress. I have tried enclosing the command in brackets and quote marks but this doesn't make any difference. I am currently running Analog 5.24 on Windows XP, I also tried this on my other system running Windows Millennium and again this doesn't work. I did think that if this problem could be solved it might be worth adding to the Analog help files as there are a lot of other Windows/WinZip users out there. Programming not being my forte any help you can provide to help sort this would be most appreciated.
