Yesterday I talked about Log Parser and Log Parser Studio as tools to help parse files(in my case IIS log files). I was struggling to find a way to parse IIS Log files with custom fields in Log Parser Studio. I solved it by directly calling log parser.
However after writing my post yesterday I continued experimenting a little bit and I noticed that when I changed the log type from IISW3C logs to W3C logs, Log Parser Studio was able to process the files and return results.
I don’t know why I didn’t try this before. But the good news is it works!
