Searching for specific entries
LogViewer has a search tool to enable you to find specific transactions
quickly by keyphrase or field. From LogViewer:
By keyphrase
1 Select Edit => Search => by Keyphrase.
2 Enter an alphanumeric string. Click Find.
LogViewer searches the entire log file and displays the results as either marked
records in the main window or a separate filter window based on your selection.
By field
1 Select Edit => Search => By Fields.
2 Click directly under the Field column. Use the drop list that appears
to select a field name.
3 Click the Value column. Either a text field or a drop list will appear,
depending on the field you chose in step 2. Use the drop list to select a
value, or type in a specific value.
4 Click Search.
LogViewer searches the entire log file and displays the results as either marked
records in the main window or a separate filter window based on your selection.
Copying and exporting LogViewer data
You can transfer log file data from LogViewer into another application.
The data you choose to transfer is converted to a text file (.
txt).
If you want to transfer specific log entries to another application, use the
copy function. Use the export function if you want to transfer entire log
files, or a filtered set of records (see next paragraph), to another
application.
You can copy log entries to an interim window, called the LogViewer
filter window, prior to exporting them. Within the filter window (shown
on top of the LogViewer window in the figure on the next page) you can
perform the same search functions as described in “Searching for specific
entries” on page 193.
