LogAddressPacket does not support milliseconds in Timestamp #46
Description
Context:
I'm building a custom log ingestion server (for use with logaddress_add_http in CS2), and am using the parsers in this library to handle certain logs being ingested.
Problem:
The format of the log "packet" slightly differs when using HTTP:
- the log text does not start with
L - the log's timestamp includes milliseconds
As a result, I was unable to use the LogAddressPacket type for parsing log content.
Workaround:
I created the following LogPacket type in my project to handle these differences (note that I'm on net8.0):
public sealed partial record LogPacket( string Body, DateTime Timestamp )
{
[GeneratedRegex( @"^(\d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4} - \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\.\d{3}) - " )]
private static partial Regex Parser( );
public static bool TryParse( string? value, [NotNullWhen( true )] out LogPacket? packet )
{
if( !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace( value ) )
{
var match = Parser().Match( value );
if( match.Success && DateTime.TryParseExact( match.Groups[ 1 ].Value, "MM/dd/yyyy - HH:mm:ss.fff", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, default, out var timestamp ) )
{
var body = value[ match.Groups[ 0 ].Length.. ].Trim();
if( body.Length is not 0 )
{
packet = new( body, timestamp );
return true;
}
}
}
packet = default;
return false;
}
}The LogPacket.Body can then be used with DefaultParser<> implementations as expected.
I considered opening a PR, but wasn't sure if this use case fit the "scope" of this project.
