awk -F"[ .]" '{ printf "%s ", $1; if($0 ~ "log") { print $(NF - 1) } else { print $NF } }' filename

Awesome! But I have to do it with the "Cut" feature.

Is there any way to do that?

yes, you can do it.

But why not awk ? What stops you from using awk ?

It is for a project we are working on in our programming class. We can't use awk. I wish I could. That's why I can't figure out how to do it. I got so use to using that!
