Take a look at exigrep (part of the exim package) - it's not a one liner, but it's perl, it's short, and it's well written. It's designed to parse very clearly defined log files, but it may give you some pointers to what you're trying to do. If you solve it in a way that works well for you, post it - I'm interested in a general way, although it's not burning enough to actually sit down down and do it :) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | BOFH excuse #11: magnetic interferance | | steve@lobefin.net | from money/credit cards | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
