Syntax Error Unexpected Token

[BionanoDev]

Hello,

Just testing bunyan for the first time. Seeing errors from the CLI. I can see the logs generate properly and they look great, but when I run them through the cli for pretty printing I get an error.

var bunyan = require('bunyan');
var log = bunyan.createLogger({
            name: 'Knickers',
            src: true,
            streams: [{
                type: 'rotating-file',
                path: './Log/Knickers.log',
                period: '1d',   // daily rotation
                count: 3        // keep 3 back copies
            }]
        });
log.info('hello world');

Contents of the file look like this:

{"name":"Knickers","hostname":"BNM-227","pid":10200,"level":30,"msg":"hello world","time":"2016-02-22T22:49:13.318Z","src":{"file":"C:\\Projects\\bnm\\IrysView3\\Server\\Knickers\\App.js","line":26,"func":"App"},"v":0}

If I run this command I get this error:

node Knickers.log | bunyan -l info

That was on windows 7 pro.

okay answered my own question. Feeling stupid.... Just needed to issue command like this:

bunyan Knickers.log

No need to feel stupid, in your failed attempt you asked Node to open your log file.

I followed the examples, but the examples were just piping the console output from the running program instead of from a file like I was attempting. Duh. Anyway feels like a nice library thanks.
