Re: [AG-TECH] AG usage log analysis

Hi Wenjun,

It sounds like it's kinda related to what I need. :)

Sadly, I'm not good enough with perl (or any language for that matter) 
to write the scripts to do the text parsing and turn it into 
easy-to-read stats. So, what I'm hoping is that I'm not the only one out 
there who needs this sort of data, and that perhaps someone else who is, 
might also be willing to package up whatever tools they create for 
sharing with the community at large.

Cheers,
Jennifer
