Better try: > > sed 's/^[[:alnum:]]*[[:space:]]*//' I tried": cat temp | sed 's/^[[:alpha:]]*[[:space:]]*//' > log Where temp is: test.wilderness.org.au/about_us/whatistwsck 203.48.59.163 - - [26/Aug/2003 08:14:01] "GET http://test.wilderness.org.au/about_us/whatistws HTTP/1.0" 200 20872 "-" "Dillo/0.7.3" TCP_MISS:DIRECT but that just removes the test from .wilderness.... What I want to do is to go through a log file and delete all the virtual host entries at the front of each log entry so I end up with something like this. 203.48.59.163 - - [26/Aug/2003 08:14:01] "GET http://test.wilderness.org.au/about_us/whatistws HTTP/1.0" 200 20872 "-" "Dillo/0.7.3" TCP_MISS:DIRECT I just can't seem to figure out how to match that first virtual host path and delete. I have seen perl scripts written to sort virtual hosts into separate log files for apache but they don't seem to work for the logs that are produced by squid and I don't have any perl knowledge so looking at the scripts didn't help me. I thought I would be able to use grep and sed to do the job for me and I can use grep to filter them in separate log files but I now need to delete that first virtual host entry so I can use webalizer to analyse the seperate log files. I have read the info page for sed and looked at tutorials and the faq but haven't seen been able to really understand the options. > > -- > Carlos Sousa > http://vbc.dyndns.org/ > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
