LrLogger log file is corrupted

I've been working on a Lightroom plugin and I'm using LrLogger to output messages to the logfile.  This has been working great, but today suddenly everything written to the logfile is jibberish.  Looks like this: 

 

㈰㈯⼰〲㔲ㄠ㨳ㄵ㐺‶剔䍁ॅ敂潦敲琠潬摡灇䙸汩⁥佄䕎渺汩ഀ《⼲〲㈯㈰‵

 

I've tried deleting the logfile, and rebooted my PC but nothing has worked.  Does anyone know how this has happened and how I can fix it?

 

Thanks,

Greg

Which program are you using to examine the file? It looks like an encoding confusion (e.g. file written in UTF-8 but opened as UTF-16, etc.).

    I using notepad in Windows 11.  I just tried deleting the log file again, and now I'm seeing normal log messages again.  I'm guessing that I didn't really delete the log file before (but thought I did).  So I'm working again.  Thanks for your response.
