:mrdocs:

Substitute all occurrences of valid `%`‐escape sequences in the specified `logPattern` with `*` and load the specified `filePattern` with the resulting string. This utility function converts the log patterns used by various file observers and supplied to their `enableFileLogging` method (see `ball_fileobserver`, `ball_fileobserver2`, and `ball_asyncfileobserver`) to the file pattern used by various utility functions to find the related file(s) on the filesystem (see `balb_filecleanerutil` and `balb_filecleanerconfiguration`).
