4.2.4. Formatted Log
This command displays the formatted log data that was generated by the Format
Raw command under the File menu. If a file was not selected via the Select
Formatted command under the File menu, then the current raw log file, if there
is one, is used as the default. This default file is then automatically formatted
and that formatted log is displayed. If more than one file was selected, the
entries from all the files are processed on a per-file basis and concatenated in
one continuous flow before being displayed.
The entries in the formatted log file will first be filtered according to the
Formatted settings under the Filters --> Display menu. Entries which do not
match the filter will not be displayed. If the user wishes to display entries which
were previously filtered out, the filter should be changed and the log redisplayed.
The following figure shows the screen that is displayed in the GUI when the
Formatted Log command is selected. In this example, only part of the first entry
is shown. To see the remaining entries, the user can use the scroll bar on the
right of the screen to scroll through the text, perform a case-sensitive search
(Search and Find Next), move from log entry to log entry (Prev and Next ), print
the information to a printer (Print), save the information to a file (SaveAs), close
the window (Done) or ask for help (Help).
The header information in this example indicates that when the raw log was
formatted, no format filters were in force other than the default starting and
ending entry dates. If the user wants to see specific entries, the Format filter
under the Filters menu should be changed and the raw log file should be
reformatted via the Format Raw command under the File menu.
