I found this interesting:
open the good and bad log files with Excel (take the defaults on the import wizard) and delete the first 3 columns (otherwise, the compare will show up every line as different, since the first 3 columns contain information that is different from run to run, such as the time and the process id). Finally, compare the resulting log files (for example with WinDiff

He massaged his text logs into usable form using a spreadsheet! Instead of running a text utility to pipe input and output, parsing out the columns, and rearranging them, deleting them, sorting the rows, or whatnot, he used the spreadsheet's ability to parse the text and simple features of the grid-like system to manipulate rows and/or columns. I never would have thought of that. Maybe that's inspirational, and I'll remember that next time I need to sort on something other than the leftmost characters.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
