That's not true. wget does work. Try that one:
wget --no-check-certificate -O export.csv https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/linux+demo/?mode=CSV1
actaully wget doesn't care if the return is HTML or a GIF image or anything else, it just saves it into the output file. |

We are exploring whether it's possible/feasible to import ELog logbooks into a another database for special purposes (plotting/statisical, etc). Target database is TBD (perhaps Access).
Does anyone have or know of a logbook parser program? From cut/pasting into, for example, Excel, it does appear that the data fields are already line-feed delimited so offhand it would seem possible to parse if one really wanted to pursue it.

You can export to CSV (comma-separated-values) if you go to "Find" and then click on "Export: CSV". These fiels you ran read right into Excel or other spreadsheet programs for further analysis.

Steve, just a word of thanks for "butting in" ... my next thought was how could I schedule an export to feed the other database so it wouldn't have to be done manually each day. Your question took care of that for me! :)
Good community. Thanks. |

you're right, of course, on all counts!
when I was testing wget/elog to try to automate an extract I was getting a lot of stuff like:
/Change_Log/587">Software Only</a></td><td class="92^M^H<88>^\ÿ^Y"ÿ"><a href="../Change_Log/587">23416</a></td><td class="92^M^H<88>^\ÿ^Y"Ã<a href="../Change_Log/587">New</a></td><td class="92^M^H<88>^\ÿ^Y"ÿ"><a href="../Change_Log/587">Awaited</a></td>
but I must have been getting something wrong, using your command line as an example it works perfectly! Thanks again for elog!! |

Dear All,
I have got very good feedback from my colleagues about Elog logbook which I have made at my work since October 2006. The tool is going to use improving.
At moment, I don't let Elog start as a service (deamon), but as an application (start from a *.bat file). Because I just want to enable of "elogd -x" for reading of email list in an external file. But this cause that Elog cannot be set to automatically restart after a crash. (As a service in Windows, you can set it restart immediatly after crash)
I don't find anywhere in the administrator's guide how I can set the option 'elogd -x' while installing Elog to get a service with '-x' option.
Do you know it?
Dear Stefan,
could you enable it for the install download file for Windows? |

I tried, but it does not work. A windows service does not let you start a internal command line shell. No way. Use Linux  |

Dear Stefan,
what i mean is that you maybe modify the setup file for Windows (elog-latest.exe) so that everybody can make change of -[options] while install Elog. I am not a Windows expert, but I think that a lot of software can be set or configurated at the first install time (For Example: Path destination, features avaible, ...)
Do you know if it is possible? |

I don't know how to set-up the scheduled tasks from the installation script. Furthermore, having a application constantly running is somehow unusual, and it will confuse normal people. To my knowledge, not many people use the -x option under Windows. These people how really need it are clever enough (like you) to set-up the batch file manually. |
