Hi I have 2 log files, each with a timestamp on the first 2 fields. However, when I do a awk '/ / {print $1,$2}' logs/x.log on a log file,
it is complicated by the fact that I also get other non timestamp column, 2008-10-20 15:00:06,113 2008-10-20 15:00:06,113 2008-10-20 14:59:48,828 javax.naming.CommunicationException: Could at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.checkRef(NamingContext.java:1414) at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:594) at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:587) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:351) at com.cm.common.util.jndi.MultiJndiLookup.getRemoteObjectStub(MultiJndiLookup.java: 377) at com.cm.common.util.jndi.MultiJndiLookup.getRemoteObjectRef(MultiJndiLookup.java: 130) at com.cm.common.util.jndi.JndiLookup.getRemoteObjectRef(JndiLookup.java: 88) at com.cm.system.SystemInfoTopicManager.init(SystemInfoTopicManager.java: 91) at com.cm.system.SystemInfoTopicManager.reconnect(SystemInfoTopicManager.java: 181) at com.m.system.SystemInfoTopicManager.onException(SystemInfoTopicManager.java: 216) at org.jboss.mq.Connection $ExceptionListenerRunnable.run(Connection.java:1348) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) Caused by: at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.getServer(NamingContext.java:269) at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.checkRef(NamingContext.java:1385) ... 11 2008-10-20 14:59:49,800 Unix diff gives extra output like 1,38c1,2 < 2008-10-20 15:00:09,890 WARN [EMAIL PROTECTED]:***:***:***] [ExceptionListener Connection@ 323[token=ConnectionToken:ID:93/1003454235 rcvstate=STARTED]] com.cm.system.SystemInfoTopicManager - Jms server not reachable..it may be down.

I'm hoping to get in file3 2008-10-20 14:59:48,828 ...plus rest of line 2008-10-20 14:58:48,900 ...plus rest of line I suppose I also need to read in the 1 field of the timestamp and convert time to unix time to compare and then convert that unix time to this timestamp format. Is there a way to get this done with Perl ? Could someone be kind to show me a close example to what I like to accomplish here ? Any help is appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
