Simple really, does Log4j SyslogAppender support MDC and NDC in the sense that the output is structured data i.e. uses the structured data features of the protocol? Further, are there any limits on what can be put in the MDC and successfully appended to the log? ...
I'm looking for a .NET (much preferably open source in C#) library for dealing with fixed length field text files. It wouldn't be too much to write one, but existing, tested work is always nicer, to start with. I will be extracting data in fixed length fields from files produced by a PBX. Each PBX has its own file format, as well a se...

I am looking for references (tutorials, books, academic literature) concerning structuring unstructured text in a manner similar to the google calendar quick add button. I understand this may come under the NLP category, but I am interested only in the process of going from something like "Levi jeans size 32 A0b293" to: Brand: Levi, Si...
This question may be seen as subjective, but I'd like to ask SO users which common structured textual data format is best supported in Python. My initial choices are: XML JSON and YAML Which of these three is easiest to work with in Python (ie. has the best library support / performance) ... or is there another format that I haven't...
