Mihai, You asked about documentation - have you looked at: http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/manual/
As for your question more specifically, perhaps this page would help? http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/manual/classlog4cxx_1_1PatternLayout.h tml#_details Referring to the above page, %.8t should give you the last 8 characters of the thread name. -David [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Mihai Rusu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 3:53 AM To: Curt Arnold (JIRA) Subject: truncate %t convesion output (was [jira] Resolved: (LOGCXX-110) try fix 64bit log4cxx_intptr_t) Hi there On Wed, Nov 02, 2005 at 04:54:56AM +0100, Curt Arnold (JIRA) wrote: > [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-110?page=all ] > > Curt Arnold resolved LOGCXX-110: > -------------------------------- > > Fix Version: 0.9.8 > Resolution: Fixed > > Committed as rev 330179 > > Modified previous patch to accept either upper or lower case a-f in thread name patterns and to add "0x" to char buffer before apr_snprintf instead transcoding then appending. Thanks for fixing this. However, this reminds me of some small issue I have with log4cxx (which in turn is because of lack of any documentation I could find about the format specifiers of log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern setting). I would like to know if it's possible to configure log4cxx to "truncate" from the output of the thread ID, currently %t "resolves" into a veeeery long string (because as I see it, it prints out a pointer and on my AMD64 architecture this takes some screen space) like this: [0x00002AAAAC79FDC0] DEBUG test - hello 45 [0x00002AAAAC79FDC0] DEBUG test - world [0x00002AAAAC79FDC0] INFO test - *** test manip *** 123456 I am using log4cxx in multithreaded programs so just removing %t from ConversionPattern I don't want. But also, I don't need the first 8 digits from the %t output because they are always the same and for me is enough to have just the last 8. So, is it possible now to truncate the %t output so it only displays a configured last number of digits ? If yes please give me some URL to where this is documented and please accept my apologies for not knowing this already. If not, please consider this as a feature request.
