cutting unwanted text

sysgate · #1 (**permalink**) 11-29-2006

Hello,

I have a log file which looks like this :

Quote:

10-10-2006 08:44:45,802 [ some info here ] This is my Event : HTTP GET
10-10-2006 08:44:45,802 [ some info here ] Time duration: 1013 mls. (1 sec.)

I want to cut out some text and get printed only : "HTTP GET" and "Time duration: 1013 mls. (1 sec.)" I tried searching the forum for such solution, but I was unable to find it.
I also tried

Code:

 awk '/duration/ { print $0 }' mylogfile.log

, but this return the entire row of data. Please shed some light on this, thanks.

Code:

awk -F": " '{ print $2 }' filename

check,
There is a space after :,
as per your input file patter
