FORMAT OF ENTRIES IN THE NETHACK LOGFILE (as of v.3.4.3)

As a Perl regex, each line matches:
/^(\d\.\d\.\d) (\d+) (\d+) (-?\d+) (\d+) (-?\d+) (\d+) (\d+) (\d{8}) (\d{8}) (\d+) (\w+) (\w+) (\w+) (\w+) ([^,]+),(.*)$/

Meanings of the subpatterns:
 - $1 - version string
 - $2 - score
 - $3 - dungeon number:
  - 0 - The Dungeons of Doom
  - 1 - Gehennom
  - 2 - The Gnomish Mines
  - 3 - The Quest
  - 4 - Sokoban
  - 5 - Fort Ludios
  - 6 - Vlad's Tower
  - 7 - The Elemental Planes
 - $4 - final dungeon level
 - $5 - maximum dungeon level
 - $6 - final health
 - $7 - maximum health
 - $8 - number of deaths
 - $9 - end date
 - $10 - start date
 - $11 - user ID number
 - $12 - role
 - $13 - race
 - $14 - gender
 - $15 - alignment
 - $16 - name
 - $17 - reason for end of game/cause of death

Notes:
 - The maximum length of the role, race, gender, & alignment fields is defined
   by the constant ROLESZ in src/topten.c; the default is 3.
 - The maximum length of the player name is defined by the NAMSZ constant in
   src/topten.c; the default is 10.
 - The maximum length of the cause of death is defined by the DTHSZ constant in
   src/topten.c; the default is 100.
 - Numbers for special final levels:
  - -1 - Plane of Earth
  - -2 - Plane of Air
  - -3 - Plane of Fire
  - -4 - Plane of Water
  - -5 - Astral Plane
 - If NO_SCAN_BRACK is defined in src/topten.c (which it is not by default, and
   there is no placeholder for defining it anywhere), then the literal
   punctuation in the above pattern will be replaced by spaces.
 - Commas in player names are converted to spaces when the game begins in order
   to avoid problems with the logfile.
