Hi There is a function called str2time in HTTP::Date which will convert this date format to epoch, I believe it can handle the TZ as well.
Also, you may want to look at the C app called mergelog which chrono sorts multiple logfiles, Regards Matt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of SuccessInMind Sent: 23 June 2002 18:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Perl-unix-users] Sorting Records In Server Log Files Hi all, I have a little sorting dilemma. I have combined two server access logs and I am wanting to sort the records by the Date/time field. I can perform simple sorts but this one is out of my expertise. The problem I am running into is that not only each record include different field separators but the date is also alphanumeric which compound the problem, but I am sure that there is a way to solve this issue. Here is a sample of three records in the file - this is a rather large file so an efficient streamline routine would be needed. 65.93.183.185 - - [25/Mar/2002:12:41:31 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 33140 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011128 Netscape6/6.2.1" 65.93.183.185 - - [20/Mar/2002:12:41:31 -0500] "GET /includes/style.css HTTP/1.1" 200 3147 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011128 Netscape6/6.2.1" 65.93.183.185 - - [26/Mar/2002:12:41:31 -0500] "GET /template/images/clear.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 43 "http://www.yahoo.com/"; "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011128 Netscape6/6.2.1" Does anyone have a snippet of code that would accomplish this? Any assistance always appreciated.
