Hi, Actually when I press the TAB key I see that its really inserting a TAB key and not spaces even after I restart tomcat the TAB key is still there and not spaces but if I open the log file in vi I see that it enterperate it as spaces and my log analysis machine also see that as spaces. I have tries to use the \t '\t' and all of its variation but without any success. Any other recommendation will be very appreciated. thanks

I mean when you insert a tab with the TAB key, the editor just inserts an appropriate number of spaces ? And then maybe Tomcat, when it interprets the pattern, strips duplicate consecutive spaces ? As another wild guess, have you tried to insert '\t' in your pattern, instead of pressing the TAB key. (\t is the traditional way of representing a TAB in various circumstances). Like : > pattern='%B\t%a\t%m\t%U\t%q\t%s\t%t\t%D ...etc.. I make no guarantees about crashing your server. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
