Collater v1.

[PeteW 1]

Display multiple files from multiple locations in one window.

This network administrator's tool presents a simple listview display of specified files: full path, date, size.

The latter 2 are often useful quick-check of log/status files: is it up-to-date; is the file size correct (0 or non-0)?

Uses an INI file to specify a list of files to display - wildcard indicates 'get the newest file matching this pattern'

Single-click the file to open it; an alternative app can be specified for non-associated files.

The attached .zip contains Collater.au3 and 2 example .INI files (documented):

To view the latest Windows and Netware Veritas BackupExec log files.

To view remote server Windows Event logs.

Update: v2.1 Amended .INI format; can now supply login credentials; added Windows Event log support; added an initial 'select INI file to use'.

Cheers,

Pete.
