Hmmmm, thanks but using cut -d": " -f 2 filename | cut -d"|" -f 1

... I get "cut: invalid delimiter"

I tried it without the space after the ":" but unfortunately some of the data includes ":" that aren't in "UserID : " (admittedly I didn't put that in my example data so I'll change it now)

[01:01:2008] [INFO] |BLAH BLAH|UserID : 12345| RANDOMTEXT
[01:01:2008] |BLAH BLAH|UserID : 54321| RANDOMTEXT | RANDOMTEXT
[INFO] |BLAH BLAH|UserID : 666| RANDOMTEXT

Any thoughts? Smilie
