Is a carriage return too much to ask? (linux client)

[jebo_4jc]

Are all the Linux clients this way? I mean, this is rediculous. How hard would it be to code in a carriage return after each entry into the log file? There's no way I'm going to find anything useful in that mess

It may be the text editor you are using. If you try a more Linux friendly one I bet you will find it looks fine.

Just use Notepad++

Typical response from non windows environments....."You're doing it wrong"

I see that all the time when opening certain text documents with programs like Notepad.

Use Notepad ++ like posted above.

Or use 'unix2dos' to convert it from unix format (linebreak) to dos format (carriage return, linebreak). Notepad will then open it fine.

Can try open it with wordpad . but don't save it right after .. it will screw up your file

+1. Wordpades fix most of these problems....

I second Notepad++ for FAH log files and config files from Linux clients.

FYI jebo, the file would look fine if you viewed in from Linux using cat or one of the text editors. I know you love to bitch about Linux, but this one is not Linux's fault.

from the linux command line you can do:

more /path/to/filename

--or--

less /path/to/filename

--or--

(show last 50 lines of the file)
tail -50 /path/to/filename

--or--

(show most recent activity and when new data is added, show it too)
tail -f /path/to/filename



That or use something other than notepad

*edit* Notepad++ like the others mentioned is very good, my suggestion all the way for windows

 

[jebo_4jc]

Wow thank for all the suggestions.

There must not be much exciting stuff to talk about

 

[Pocatello]

it is kinda slow 'round here

 

[TheMTZ]

I like nano.

 

[nwrtarget]

I like cat and grep or tail and more for log file review. tail messages -n 5000 |more cat messages |grep -i ups

hehe sorry I'm sick with strep throat so my brain is still kinda fuzzy, hope the suggestions actually helped tho notepad++ has been my saving grace in windows several times over, shows line numbers etc... makes life much easier

I use vim for Windows... but then again I'm not right in the head.

I'm a big windows/ MS fan and I have to say they got it wrong here, it is pointless having two characters to represent a new line and the proper way of doing it within visual studio is to use Enviroment.NewLine which is way overboard!
