Analog will work with relative dates, but you have to tell it to analyze *.log for that technique to work. If you want to tell Analog to analyze a specific logfile, then you need to call Analog with the name of that logfile, and the logic you need depends on your OS, not on Analog. You don't mention what OS you're running on, but if you're running on Windows, and your webserver is rotating your logs at 00:00 GMT, then if you are in the US (or anywhere West of GMT), this old post demonstrates one way to do it: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05834.html It actually calculates todays date, but because IIS rotates logs (or used to) based on GMT, you could run "todays" logs before midnight. It is possible to extend the logic to calculate yesterdays date, but I don't think I ever bothered doing it. Some of the logic required to actually calculate yesterdays date is described in this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06580.html Aengus +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | TO UNSUBSCRIBE from this list: | http://lists.meer.net/mailman/listinfo/analog-help | | Usenet version: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.analog.general | List archives: http://www.analog.cx/docs/mailing.html#listarchives +------------------------------------------------------------------------
