Extract/List data recorded on DOS log file
« on: April 20, 2011, 01:19:35 PM »
Hi, we are running a program(MHDD) on DOS and it is supposed to have record hard disk volume headers and other program run details in a log file. I am trying to search for a utility program that can either extract and reformat the data from the log file whereupon  I can use Query to print OR a utility program that can just print out the data from the log file. It would be nice to have a utility that list out the fields from the log such that it makes sense and not just hex representation. Does such a utiliity program exists? Btw, the log file is recorded on CD-ROM media.
Thank u very much.

I am not sure what you are asking.

Are you looking for something to open a log file? What is the extension of the file? .log? Or something else.

So why is this bang wiz app writing unusable log files ? ?
Not sure i understand because if it was doing it's job the logs should not have to be deciphered by another app...

Or am i missing something ? ?
