Custom Log File Directories

Hello all,

I’ve been using l4n very successfully for the last 9 months (holy crap, has it been that long?) with one small problem pertaining to the custom directories that are created for the log files. I am using custom date patterns to put log files under directories named after the year and month that the log files were created. So if I was to create a log file today (feb 13, 2006) the file path would be as follows:

<root path>\SYSTEM\2006\February\20060213.SYSTEM

With the file being names 20060213.SYSTEM. This works for the most part, but every now and then it has a bit of a hissy fit and creates a folder named something like this:

20060213.SYSTEM2006

It seems that somehow it appends the year to the filename and then creates a directory out of it and then creates the directory structure under the folder noted above like so:

<root path>\2006\February\20060213.SYSTEM2006\February\20060213.SYSTEM

From what I can tell, this happens the first time I start the application after a reboot or something and then corrects itself after the first run. Unfortunately, it isn’t a consistent problem and only occurs when my boss is standing over me watching what’s going on. : - {

Any suggestions other than locking my boss in his office (as I’ve already been reprimanded for attempting it) would be terrific. Config settings below:

Cheers!

Russ
