How to Install

How to Use

To make log file names, run:

Usage of log-name-generator:
This program generates log filenames for a specified number of past days based on provided seed names or defaults.

  -date-format string
        Specify a single date format for log filenames (e.g., '20060102' for YYYYMMDD). See usage for more examples.
  -days int
        Number of days
  -ext string
        Extension for generated log files (default "log")
  -log-names string
        Comma-separated base names of log files
  -seed-file string
        File containing the base name of log files

Examples:
  log-name-generator -days 7 -ext txt -log-names 'server,error'
  This command generates server and error log filenames for the past 7 days with a .txt extension.

Date Format Examples:
  -date-format "2006-01-02" : Use ISO 8601 format (e.g., server-2024-04-02.log)
  -date-format "20060102" : Use a compact format without separators (e.g., server-20240402.log)
  -date-format "2006_01_02" : Use underscores as separators (e.g., server-2024_04_02.log)
  -date-format "2006-Jan-02" : Include a three-letter month abbreviation (e.g., server-2024-Apr-02.log)
  -date-format "200601021504" : Extend the compact date format to include hours and minutes (e.g., server-202404021530.log)

More usage examples:
  log-name-generator -days 5 -seed-file seeds.txt
  This command uses seed names from 'seeds.txt' to generate log filenames for the past 5 days.
  log-name-generator -days 3 -date-format "2006-Jan-02"
  This command generates log filenames for the past 3 days using the format with a three-letter month abbreviation.

Still not clear how to use the -seed-file argument ?

Let's say that seeds.txt is our seed file and it contains a few keywords which we want to include in the file names that we want to generate.

keyword1
keyword2

Now we can run log-name-generator with the -seed-file arguemnt and it'll generate file names with dates by including those keywords from our seed file.

$ log-name-generator -date-format "2006-01-02" -days 1 -ext txt -seed-file .\seed-file.txt
keyword1-2024-07-08.txt
keyword2-2024-07-08.txt
