[syslog-ng] Character Conversion Question

[James B Horwath]

I am using SNARE to send messages to syslog-ng (2.0.9).  There are fields 
in the messages separated by a TAB (0x9).  When syslog-ng writes this out 
to a file it convert the hexadecimal (0x9) to \011 (literally slash, zero, 
one, one).  This makes the lines hard to read.  How can I either convert 
the TAB to a space or preserve the TAB in the output.  Preserving the TAB 
would be my preference.

I did not see anything in the documentation except writing a regex to 
convert the character.

Thanks in advance,
Jim
