I mean compressing it into an archive with WinRAR.

Works fine with encrypted xml logs, should work even better on plain text files.

Will save at least 50% space.

Perhaps he uses winrar to compress them...

Edit:
I should press f5 more often....

Ah yes, figures... yup it manages to cut the size down to about 33%.

although it's pretty nifty, it doesn't fix the problem of not being to compare the logfiles. To do that I either have to zip them all, or after each month change the logs to ANSI.

Meh...technology needs to advance once in a while I assume... to bad it always has to bring compatibility  issues with it

Use a program which can handle unicode (that technology advances too)... there are extremely many to be found with google

lol well opening the logs with unicode isn't the problem. Simple notepad will do that.

you talked about comparing, so I replied on that issue... use google to find a compare program which can handle unicode files.

Well in that case: It's about comparing the size of each log with the others. As in being able to see that in some months I talked twice as much to some people then in other months.

Now that all new logs have doubled in size...I either have to renew the old logs or adapt the new ones in order to keep the old logs usefull...
