I am trying to query some Exchange 2007 logs using Microsoft
logParser. I cannot query for any field that has a dash character "-"
in it. So, a query like the one below is not working.
logParser -i:w3c "select message-subject from msg.log"
When I run the above query, I get the following error message.
H:\lg>logParser -i:w3c "select message-subject from msg.log"
Error: SELECT clause: Syntax Error: unknown field 'message-subject'.
The closest match for input format 'W3C' is 'date-time,client-ip,[...]'.

What am i missing?

That your input format isn't W3C, but CSV.
