Hi.
If the only problem is the annoyance of hearing some info over and over
I would do a regex find and replace to get rid of that info. When you
want to get the info back, just reference the original file in terms of
line number. Since log files are usually tab or comma delimited the
regex pattern could be quite simple and quick to get right. If the file,
or part you are interested in, is not too large
you could do as Jim suggested and just paste it into a spreadsheet
application like Excel or Calc, and then search inside it and go down in
one column.
If you are only interested in marked lines you could search for those
lines only, or use EdSharp's yeald functionality to extract those lines
to a second editor window.
For more complex querying of the data you could import the whole file
into a SQL table and then write queries on it. Although this might take
some time to get done, if you can automate some of it you have a great
solution since you'll have the full power of SQL for doing queries.
Seems like the MS log viewer is this type of thing, but then, as usual
with one size fits all fat apps it might not be accessible and hence
more of a frustration than anything else.
It remains an art to choose your tools and approach carefully.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
Take a look at Microsoft's log viewer. It allows you to query logs. I have
not been able to get it to work but your mileage may vary.

Hello All,
I've not really got any experience with debugging, but i've recently
been suggested to look at logs for various errors in my job. It is
very painful to go through raw logs and keep hearing the same
information like the date and time over and over again.
So i wanted to ask whether anyone knows of any log viewers, which are
accessible and tell you what you need to know as it were?
Thanks
