Log file encoding

Hi,

We have a requirement of scanning the log file for errors by a program which runs at regular intervals.
When running that script, it is found that the log file is not a regular/simple text file. Please let us know what kind of encoding the log file is.

Is there a way to create a normal log file.

Thanks,
Naresh

Hi,

thanks

Hi would you let us know if you mean UTF-8 encoding?. We are using a perl script to parse the log file and the log file needed to be decoded before parsing. Hence we are asking for exact type of encoding.

Thanks,
