Re: [Log4cplus-devel] how to change log4cplu log file to utf8

When you say “try to imbue it with en_US.UTF-8” I am guessing you are talking about using

log4cplus.appender.DATA.Locale= en_US.UTF-8 right?

I have been handed a code which uses log4cplus as the logger application. How can I generate a UTF8 logging file for it?. The logfile being created by log4cplus is in ASCII format at the moment.

I have tried the follow

Setting the file encoding of the log file by following instructions at Change File Encoding to utf-8 via vim in a script<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2311750/change-file-encoding-to-utf-8-via-vim-in-a-script>

vi dataLog.txt

:set bomb

:set fileencoding=utf-8

:wq

I have also tried changing the .properties file

log4cplus.logger.dl=TRACE,DATA



log4cplus.appender.DATA=log4cplus::RollingFileAppender

log4cplus.appender.DATA.Locale=en-US

log4cplus.appender.DATA.File=/usr/vm/log/data/dataLog.txt

log4cplus.appender.DATA.MaxFileSize=5000KB

log4cplus.appender.DATA.MaxBackupIndex=5

log4cplus.appender.DATA.layout=log4cplus::PatternLayout

log4cplus.appender.DATA.layout.ConversionPattern=%D{%d/%b/%y %H:%M:%S.%q} %-9c %-5p %m%n

I am not sure on the exact version of log4cplus however a locate resulted in the following

/usr/lib/liblog4cplus-1.0.so.4

/usr/lib/liblog4cplus-1.0.so.4.0.0

/usr/lib/liblog4cplus-1.0.so.4.0.0_load

/usr/lib/liblog4cplus.so


Copying from my SO answer<http://stackoverflow.com/q/24422449/341065>:

Since log4cplus 1.1.0-RC10 you can specify locale to be imbued into std::filestream used by file appenders. See FileAppender documentation<http://log4cplus.sourceforge.net/docs/html/classlog4cplus_1_1FileAppender.html>, especially the Locale property. In your case, try to imbue it with en_US.UTF-8.
