Can I write control code in TIME_FORMAT?

I want to get time in this log file.

[sample log]
1234 567 789^G20190613^G14:00^Gsample_log

^G mean control code.

TIME_PREFIX was done.
However, TIME_FORMAT does not work.

How should I write it?

Hi @oda,

Below configuration looks working.

TIME_FORMAT = %Y%m%d^G%H:%M
TIME_PREFIX = \^G
