Wingate WWW log parser

[EnemyWithin]

I wrote a small program for parsing the Wingate WWW log files. I just wanted something that would give me an idea of how long users were browsing the Internet. If anyone is interested, you can download it at

h t t p ://hargraveusa.com/Wingate/LogParser.zip (this forum doesn't allow websites to be added).

The source is also available if anyone wants it (in VB.NET 2005).

Looks good in the pic, but when you take into account your forum nickname: "EnemyWithin" and this is your first forum post- Total respect mate, but I can't see myself using your custom application; its tempting though.

Heh...the name is a hold-out from my gaming years :) I am well known in the Meedio (HTPC software) community. I have written 11 public plugins for it (and numerous private ones). I would post the URL to my plugin list, but that's (annoyingly) forbidden on this forum.

I also offered the source if anyone is interested, but I understand your hesitation. Either way it doesn't matter to me, I'm just offering it for the community as there doesn't seem to be anything else available (at least not for free).

Test it in a virtual machine...it's clean :)

Cool; looks like I might be doing a 180 :) Cheers for the response

When I add a log, I immediately get the error "Exception" - "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime".

Silly DateTime parse issues and regional settings. Doesn't everyone live in the US? ;) I added some code to work around that. Download and try again. :)

That looks like a pretty cool tool. I was getting a similar error as ImmediateAction aswell. I will redownload it and check out the fix.

I'm guessing ImmediateAction is a hold-out name from gaming years aswell :D I just noticed the URL from that log. htp ://storefront.steampowered.com/apps/AppID_3840

Cool, it works now; I like it, well done. Can't say I have heard of this place called the US ay man.

FYI hint hint ;)
