Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2339:
-------------------------------------
I am confused. The stackoverflow question was about having records appear as
fixed width so that the fields line up. That should be able to be accomplished
without combining a bunch of things into a single conversion specifier. That
is, unless you want a bunch of variable things padded or truncated to make them
a fixed width. Is that what you are really wanting?
> format multiple conversion characters with one conversion specifier

> Key: LOG4J2-2339
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2339
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core, Pattern Converters
> Affects Versions: 2.8.2
> Reporter: Jakub
> Priority: Major
>
> I am writing on suggestion from [~rem...@yahoo.com] in
> [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50311762/log4j-set-class-and-method-summary-length-in-pattern]

>
> I would like to format multiple conversion characters with one conversion
> specifier.
> As Remko explained, it is currently not possible
> _No, each modifier applies to one conversion. But Log4j could add a new
> converter that means what you want. You can propose such a new converter on
> the mailing list or issue tracker_
> Would it be a useful feature to add to log4j2 ? Would it be hard to implement
> ?
>
> EG
> I would like to set summary length of class.method.line with
> %-60.60CML
> It's not possible now. Below what doc states
> [https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/PatternLayout.html]
> {quote}Each conversion specifier starts with a percent sign (%) and is
> followed by optional format modifiers and a conversion charact*er*. The
> conversion charact*er* specifies the type of data
> The pattern parser knows when it has reached the end of a conversion
> specifier when it reads a conversion charact*er*.
> {quote}
> It writes only about single conversion character, I would like to modify
> multiple conversion characters with one conversion specifier.
