Hi,

Brand new to LogViewPlus (3 hours) and am unable to find a way to uncheck more than one column at a time in the "Columns" menu or a way to select specific columns with a filter.  I've checked the documentation and this forum but didn't come up with anything, perhaps just overlooked existing methods.

Thanks,

I see.  In that case, probably dragging and dropping the columns outside of the grid is the fastest way.  LogViewPlus doesn't handle this scenario very well because it is unusual to have such a high number of columns.

How are you parsing the file?  Could you maybe declare columns without names to ignore the column?

How are you parsing the file?  Could you maybe declare columns without names to ignore the column?

That could work as well.  I could parse the csv logs with different parameters to ignore the columns I don't need for the purpose.  It's just a little faster to do in Excel.

Just throwing it out there, because my csv logs are setup like a table with a header row.   The parser config doesn't handle this situation very well.  I can take that header row in excel and make a formula using concat to combine each header row cell into a text string with a format expected by the parser.  eg =CONCAT("%S{",A1,"}")

This might be an odd-ball feature request, I find LVP works very well with my other hard to parse txt logs and just want to use LVP for all my log parsing! 

I think there is more we can do with the DSV Parser.  We are actually looking into expanding it for the next release to allow parsing of datasets that do not contain a timestamp.  I think it would be a good time to look into better first row / column header integration as well.

Just a quick update to let you know that we have now released LogViewPlus v3.1.22 as a BETA release.

We have done a lot of work with colum management in this release including:
 - Grid column changes in merged log files and message parsers can now be saved.
 - Added grid column customization form for easier column management.  In other words, the column chooser is back. 

Hope that helps.  Thanks again for bringing this issue to our attention.
