This is a "quick" demonstration of Hoo Wintail, a text log reading application I found after much research. Notepad++ has some of these features, but not the ones that make this truly powerful for reading numerous countless logs such as the ones in a Cisco voice environment.
If you want a copy of the batch file I use to convert a host file into a wintail replace-text file just send me your email address.
I am not affiliated with Wintail; Mr. Hoo has implemented many features I suggested for the purpose of reading Cisco logs and I'd like to help him sell more product if I can.
Major features:
Create a library of error, informational and warming messages so they stand out.
Colorize important messages about a specific call you may be tracing.
Find next / previous hilighted item related to your call.
Dynamicly replace text with other text to show Hosts where ever an IP was, or to show error messages instead of error codes.
Integrate seamlessly with windows grep.
Save colorized logs in html.
Powerful regular expression support.
So many more features that I don't use.
