Filtering Journal Output
As the journal output file is fairly large, filtering the data to only the required entries can be achieved by:
- Outputting to an EXCEL or CSV file and using the Data Filter function.
- Output to a text file and use Windows
findstr
or Linux's grep function to write relevant data to file.
