using the word "filter" in my example, I probably should have used the word
"expander." The little app turns cryptic messages in the log into
longer, human-readable messages -- this is what I would like to post to
Hobbit.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a log file that I need to pass through a
filter before Hobbit reviews it. I know I can simply some up with some
"tail -f | filter > updated.file" kludge. Is there a way to get
Hobbit to do this when it reads the file? Any
ideas?</FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE>Why not just use the ignore feature to have
hobbit filter out the things that you dont want it to
see?<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
