Name

logcat2 - convert ERP log files to ascii text on the standard output (ERP scripts)

Synopsis

logcat2 logfilename -srate samplingrate [-quiet]

Description

logcat2 prints the fields evtno, evtcode, condition code, total clock ticks, total time, and delta time (the time between the last event and the present event) from the ERP logfile using the sampling rate (in Hz) specified by -srate to calculate timing. logcat2 essentially duplicates the functionality of log2ascii(1) , except it sends output to standard output rather than a file so the output can be piped directly to another program, and it has the capability to omit comments in the output (see the -quiet option).

Options

-quiet
Specifies to print no column headers at the start of the output. This can be helpful if the ascii output is being fed down a pipe to another script.

Return Value

Whatever perl returned after running the script.

Examples


logcat2 filename.log -srate 250 > filename.asc


logcat2 audwm001.log -srate 500 -quiet | otherprogram

Restrictions

logcat2 requires Perl 5.000 or any higher numbered version to run, but should run correctly on any platform that will run Perl. Even on a Macintosh, amazingly enough.

Bugs

None known.
