Frequently Asked Questions
==========================

Not really FAQ, but more like Frequently Whined Things:

"I wanted this <insert PISG feature here> and you said no! You suck!"

No. I use my own jurisdiction whether I'll add some feature or not.
FISG was created for my own purposes, so if I don't like something,
then it most likely will not be in FISG.

If that does not work for you, use PISG. Period.


Features
--------
Q: Could you add support for 'Most used words' and/or
   'Most referenced nick'?
A: No.


Q: What about 'Most referenced URLs'?
A: Possibly.


Q: What do those silly faces (smileys) mean?
A: They describe the relative happiness-level of given user.
   The algorithm for calculating the happiness isn't too robust
   currently, so most faces are too sad, but it will be improved.


Usage
-----
Q: I use FISG to generate many statistics and would like a global
   template configuration file for general settings!
A: It is possible. Just give several -c options to FISG, as follows:

   $ fisg -c global.cfg -c somechannel.cfg [...]

   Configs specified later in commandline will override the settings
   in previous files.


Q: I have lots of separate logfiles, how do I give them to FISG?
A: If you are using Windows, you can only use "*" asterisk and "?" like:

   > fisg.exe *.log

   Under UNIX you can ALSO use the standard find(1) utility, for example
   if you have logs in different subdirectories under "/path/to/logs"

   $ fisg `find /path/to/logs -type f -name "*.log"`


Q: I have logfiles from Irssi and Eggdrop and I want to have them all in same stats!
A: It is possible to specify format for every given logfile, example:

   $ fisg -c mychan.conf -f eggdrop eggdrop.log-1 eggdrop.log-2 -f irssi irssi.log other-irssi.log


Q: I want to create stats for many channels, what should I do?
A: If you know shell-scripting under UNIX, it's quite simple.
   See example scripts "*-multichan.sh" under unix/-subdir.

   Under Windows, you can create a .BAT-script. I'll add an example
   script soon.

   DO NOT ASK ME FOR HELP ON THIS! I WILL DELETE SUCH MAILS IMMEDIATELY!
