TimeBasedRollingPolicy doesn't seem to like file names with '(' in them
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LBCORE-75
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-75
             Project: logback-core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Appender
    Affects Versions: 0.9.11
         Environment: Windows XP (x64).  Java 6 (32 bit), Tomcat6 (in case you care)
            Reporter: Rod Widdowson
            Assignee: Logback dev list


Apologies if this is PEBKAC

I configured up my appender like this:

    <appender name="DS_LOG" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
        <File>/discoveryService.log</File>
        <ImmediateFlush>true</ImmediateFlush>

        <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
            <FileNamePattern>C:\Program Files (x86)\DS/logs/discovery-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</FileNamePattern>
        </rollingPolicy>

        <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
            <Pattern>%date{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %level [%logger] %msg%n%ex{full}%n</Pattern>
        </layout>
    </appender>

The slightly odd "C:\Program Files (x86)\" is where Windows64 puts 32 bit executable (and it things that Tomcat it).  This failed.  Due to my own programs limitations it took me a while to get there, but this was because of this statement:

   DateTokenConverter dtc = fileNamePattern.getDateTokenConverter();

    if (dtc == null) {
      throw new IllegalStateException("FileNamePattern ["
          + fileNamePattern.getPattern()
          + "] does not contain a valid DateToken");
    }

when I poked into fileNamePattern.getDateTokenConverter(); I see this:

this	FileNamePattern  (id=159)	
	context	LoggerContext  (id=80)	
	headTokenConverter	LiteralConverter<E>  (id=160)	
		literal	"C:\Program Files (x86"	
		next	null	
	noContextWarning	0 [0x0]	
	pattern	"C:\Program Files (x86)\DS/logs/discovery-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log"	


Note that headTokenConverter is malformed, and so we end up with a null dtc.
