Hello all,
I have jsut started using wwwstat. One thing i had trouble
was excluding certain domain. For example, I would like
not to count any hits from in house. Is there a way to do
this in wwwstat ?
I will appreciate any help.
Thank You Much

ently we managed to add meaningful visits statistics to the
archive sections - the commercial tool I have been comparing it against
does not do this:-)
Having worked with the program for a while, it seems as if its big
deficiency is data storage. Reading its own output is definitely a 'cute
perl trick', but, it is not very clean. For example, there are currently
|| options so it can read the current output and the old output. Do we
keep doing this every time we change? In addition, the regexps to read
the data in are sort of yucky:P
At the suggestion of one of the other people here (Noah Couture - who also
gets credit for the archive visits stuff), I started thinking about using
dbm files, or maybe just doing some sort of tab delimited output. This
way the program could be broken into two pieces - one to process the log
files, and one to generate output. This would allow more, and easier
manipulation of the results, into whatever for you want - spreadsheets,
databases, graphs, plain text like it is now, html tables.. whatever..
I have never really dealt with gdbm files, so I'm not really sure if maybe
I'm barking up the wrong tree, and that the tabbed files are the best
option.
What is the general opinion?
