Re: What is the preferred way to parse messages out of a log?

Thanks for the replies. I need to extract the values of the message and
I was hoping to create objects from them and stuff the objects into an
arraylist so I can iterate through them. Eventually the idea is to
build a servlet that will format the messages in a easier to read
format, provide searching and message grouping by the dialogID. I have
played with perl and I feel the use of Java objects is easier for me to
understand than using perl's hashes. Obviously you feel perl is the way
to go, can you provide me a basic example of how you would store the
data in a structure so I can retrieve them later?

If you are comfortable with Java tools for XML you might look into
this "pipeline" oriented toolkit:
http://servingxml.sourceforge.net/

The site contains examples of working with various "flat" file formats
and interconverting to and from XML.
