Opening Log Files from the Command Line

LogLab provides a convenient way to open log files directly from the command line. By calling LogLab.exe and passing the log file path as a parameter, users can quickly launch LogLab with the specified log file already loaded. This feature streamlines the process of accessing and analyzing log files, especially for users who prefer command line operations or need to automate log file opening.

How It Works:

1. Opening a Log File:

   • Open the command prompt on your Windows system.

   • Navigate to the directory where LogLab.exe is located, or ensure that the directory is included in your system's PATH variable.

   • Use the following command to open a log file with LogLab:

     LogLab.exe "path\to\your\logfile.log"
     

   • Replace "path\to\your\logfile.log" with the actual path to your log file.

2. Example:

   • If LogLab.exe is located in C:\Program Files\LogLab and your log file is located in C:\Logs\example.log, the command would be:

     "C:\Program Files\LogLab\LogLab.exe" "C:\Logs\example.log"
     

Use Cases:

• Quick Access: Open log files directly from the command line for rapid access and analysis without navigating through the graphical user interface.
• Automation: Integrate LogLab into scripts or batch files to automate the process of opening and analyzing log files.
• Efficiency: Save time by launching LogLab with the desired log file already loaded, reducing the steps needed to start your log analysis.

Benefits:

• Convenience: Easily open log files from any location using the command line.
• Speed: Quickly start LogLab with the specific log file you need to analyze.
• Flexibility: Combine this feature with other command line operations to create efficient workflows and automation scripts.
