Another Community Project, Log Scrubber

Cool - thanks! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help! ~GN

I'm sorry i haven't gotten a change to fix this up, it was sort of left in an unfinished state. I will get some work done on it this weekend to finish it up. ~Brad

There's only one other program (that I've found so far); we were on a trial version of it, and it expired.  It is $200.... Automation!  When I tried to automate the software mentioned above, it just crashed... As far as performance, it doesn't matter how long it takes...  It can run all day for all I care, as long as it accurately scrubs the files...  What I would like to see, is a function that would say "Scrub the logs from yesterday", where 'yesterday' is always changing.  (Obviously  :))  We are running Webtrends, and need to prevent extra hits from eating up the page view licenses...  My biggest hangup is that I have to put in each file manually and run the program. When I open the LogScrubberAdmin.exe, I get the following .net framework error (MS XP, .net 3.5 SP1 installed).  If I hit continue, it lets me in, but doesn't seem to do anything...  I'm no programmer, so I have no idea what I'm looking at... See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.************** Exception Text **************System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: An error occurred loading a configuration file: The parameter 'exePath' is invalid.Parameter name: exePath ---> System.ArgumentException: The parameter 'exePath' is invalid.Parameter name: exePath   at System.Configuration.ClientConfigPaths..ctor(String exePath, Boolean includeUserConfig)   at System.Configuration.ClientConfigPaths.GetPaths(String exePath, Boolean includeUserConfig)   at System.Configuration.ClientConfigurationHost.get_ConfigPaths()   at System.Configuration.ClientConfigurationHost.GetStreamName(String configPath)   at System.Configuration.Internal.DelegatingConfigHost.GetStreamName(String configPath)   at System.Configuration.BaseConfigurationRecord.InitConfigFromFile()   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---   at System.Configuration.ConfigurationSchemaErrors.ThrowIfErrors(Boolean ignoreLocal)   at System.Configuration.BaseConfigurationRecord.ThrowIfParseErrors(ConfigurationSchemaErrors schemaErrors)   at System.Configuration.Configuration..ctor(String locationSubPath, Type typeConfigHost, Object[] hostInitConfigurationParams)   at System.Configuration.ClientConfigurationHost.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationFileMap fileMap, Boolean isMachine, ConfigurationUserLevel userLevel, String exePath)   at System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfigurationImpl(ConfigurationFileMap fileMap, Boolean isMachine, ConfigurationUserLevel userLevel, String exePath)   at System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(String exePath)   at LogScrubberAdmin.LogScrubberForm.LogScrubberForm_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)   at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad(EventArgs e)   at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnCreateControl()   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible)   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl()   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmShowWindow(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.ContainerControl.WndProc(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WmShowWindow(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WndProc(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)************** Loaded Assemblies **************mscorlib    Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0    Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.3082 (QFE.050727-3000)    CodeBase: file:///c:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727/mscorlib.dll----------------------------------------LogScrubberAdmin

this is a release for feed back, you will have to configure the tool via notepad editing the config file, as the admin tool is not complete yet.

This we will call the pre-alpha version, The admin tool still needs completion, however the majority of functionality is there.

Update Icons, Logos, etc.
