Yes! - Any instance of that class is your target object.

Yes I pasted this straight from the log file. all messages begin with a
timestamp. The timestamp is always in the same format
(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})

Im sorry I dont understand what you mean by definition of the target
object. I basically have a class with properties set and getters that I
would like to populate for each object. Is that what you would like to
see?

thanks for your help! :)

To recap:

Does the data in the log file look EXACTLY like that?

Is there actually a newline betewen 'Control Message (=' and 'Message
Type'?

Does the timestamp, ('03:34:06') mark the start of the message?

Does the timestamp, ('03:34:06') mark the start of EVERY message?

Is the timestamp ALWAYS in the SAME format?

Please post the definition of the target object.

The type of messages I want to extract from the log look like this
(type 101's) but not all messages are in the same format. I would like
to extract the values and populate an opject with the same properties
and store them in a collection that I can iterate through. I just do
not know how to get the values for each of these type 101 messages into
their own objects.

What is the message delimiter and what is the field delimiter?

In addition, please post a sample of the logfile and the definition of
the
target object.

Hello,

I have a log file that contains many multi-line messages. What is
the
best approach to take for extracting data out of each message and
populating object properties to be stored in an ArrayList? I have
tried
looping through the logfile using regex, if statements and flags to
find the start and end of each message but I do not see a good time
in
this process to create a new instance of my Message object. While
messing around with it I tried to create a new instance in different
places of the loops but when I try to populate it I can not access
the
object from within some if statements but not in others. I am
wondering
if there is a better approach perhaps one that is more abstract and
takes advantage of OOP. Has anyone done something like this before,
if
so I'd love to hear about your approach.

thanks
