This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hi,

 

I am building a logfile collector using Collector Studio and naturally we need to specify the "End Of Record Marker". There are predefined constants scuh ENDOFLINE, BLANKLINE and NULL.

 

I have found out that if I use a UNIX formatted log file on Windows, the collector cannot function as ENDOFLINE on Windows is assumed to be "\r\n".

 

Is there a way for me to change the "End Of Record Marker" on Windows from "\n\r" to just "\r"?

 

 

Many Thanks

sk

have a look at this two examples, i am not sure if you are after a one off change or to include it in the collector itself.

but for one off, VI is your freind , second link have a perl sample and other that you might find useful.
