How do you customize the reports that you're generating now? Are you using the HOSTNAME and HOSTurl commands, for example, to change the "Web Server Statistics for ..." message at the top of each report, and the BASEURL command to make the links in the Request Report clickable?

You can add a fileexclude command to the Command line by adding

+C"FILEEXCLUDE *.swf"

to the Analog command line (arguments are case sensitive - the +C needs to be uppercase). But how you get that argument to only be used for that client, and not for everyone else, depends on how your script is currently configured. If you are just looping through a list of directories, then then the simplest solution might be to include an addition config file on the command line (+g/%dir/custom.cfg) and only create the custom.cfg file in the subdirectory of the customer that needs it. You'll get a warning that Ananlog couldn't find the custom.cfg file for the other customers, but Analog will still create the reports.
