Nothing exists that I'm aware of that will read the patternLayout for a fileappender and parse the logs based on that.
LogFilePatternReceiver can parse log files, but you have to specify the pattern you're reading (which of course would need to correspond to the patternLayout, but it's different syntax). You can use LogFilePatternReceiver without Chainsaw. LogFilePatternReceiver is a receiver - it emits loggingevents to appenders, so you'd have to write your own appender and examine the loggingevent in the appender. Or, write some regexp code.

I don't want to use chainsaw. I have my own UI specialized for the business we do here. Today, I parse the file by reading byte[] and using some hard coded fields. I need an API where I can reuse log4j properties that where used to create a file and parse it as a collection of lines. Each line will have a collection of fields based on the pattern. Thanks. ********************************************************************** This communication and all information (including, but not limited to, market prices/levels and data) contained therein (the "Information") is for informational purposes only, is confidential, may be legally privileged and is the intellectual property of ICAP plc and its affiliates ("ICAP") or third parties.
