Check for what?

If you're using Studio or EG it provides a summary of errors that you can navigate? 

 

Otherwise, you can search lexjansen for already pre-written log parsers.

Hi all and Irackley:

Thanks so much for quick reply and support.

I found the same source and tested by adding some texts onto my log, and it works correctly and easily. eg 

index(upcase(line), "reemerged") or

index(upcase(line), "repeats") or 

 

/****This will check all logs within folder --temp***/
%checklogs
(loc=C:\ temp\LOG) ;
