PERL scripting - help

Rahul_13 — Wed, 02 Nov 2005 13:29:24 GMT

Hi,

Please find attached a log file which is my input file.

I need to extract the portion of the log which is for the last 2 hours and parse that to generate the output which looks like this:

Hostname Error Code time range

The error code is the 4th field in the input. It is successful if the code is "000" and failure otherwise.

I just need all the error codes for the last 2 hours for the day in my output.

Hostname should be the name of the server.

Can anyone please help me to write the script using PERL.

Thanks,
Rahul

1) I don't see you hostname.

2) I could certainly write this but I will not when someone is too lazy to even make the attempt.

Hi Rahul:

I'm not sure what your fields really are. Assuming that the time period begins in the second (zero-relative) character of the second (zero-relative) field, something like this would output non-zero (e.g. "35V") results for hours greater than "9":

perl -lanF";" -e 'print $F[3] if substr($F[1],2,2) > 9 && $F[3] !~/000/' logfile

Regards!
