I'm surprised it doesn't handle doubled delimiters right. However I am likewise stumped. I can't find any explanation anywhere in the Balabit docs which explain what escape-* options do specifically. I guess reading the code is the only option for now. :/ On Fri, Nov 05, 2010 at 05:26:38PM -0600, Bill Anderson wrote:
Thanks for your reply, Mathew. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. The syslog-ng produced logfile that logs $MSG is *just fine*. The tabs are there, and anything that parses it and expects the fields gets them just fine. The problem arises when the template only needs to log fields from the csv parser and a preceding field is empty. If there are any flags on that page that affect how the csv-parser handles empty fields, I'd appreciate them being pointed out, as I didn't see any.
Cheers, Bill
