LogCatch

Log viewer for Linux/Mac/Windows. First desigend for android adb logcat viewer. Now you can use this for general log viewer by easy filtering and highlighting. This is written in tcl/tk.

Spec:

• Colored log. logtype detection is supported. like time threadtime brief process, and eclipse copied, studio copied logs.
• Filtering by keywords. This is done by awk regular expression like awk '/key|word/ {print}'
• Searching keyword and highlighting it.
• Saving log.
• Can read saved logs in a file.
• View adb logcat logs from a device.

Requirements

You need to prepare commands: wish, gawk, and adb(for android).

Linux:

gawk for filtering, tk package for GUI, and android-sdk for adb.

Mac:

android-sdk for adb, gawk, and tk(from Homebrew). From macOS Monterery, tk vesion 8.6.12(or over) from Homebrew can run this app.

Windows:

bash, wish, gawk, android-sdk for adb.

I recommed to install msys-git. This contains git, bash, awk, wish.

No warranty for subsystem-linux on windows 10. Only mysy-git is supported.

Install

Linux:

Arch: pacman -S --needed gawk tk android-tools

Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install gawk tk android-tools

Mac:

brew install gawk tcl-tk

Windows:
