Nah, client doesn't allow use of perl... Its not one of their strategic software, therefore hasn't got security clearance! Good chance to learn some shell though.

Thanks for you're help, I'll get testing. I'm going to try these:
Code:
grep "^To" email.log > recipients.out|awk '{print $2}'
grep /^Subject\:\s(\S*)/ email.log > subjects.out

Does the sytax look alright?


any ideas how I can paste all the outputs together to get it to look like this:
Code:
1,recip@email.co.uk,1,,,1,xcf4564xzcv,1,12 Jun 2008,14:04:59,1,,364



---------- Post updated at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:35 PM ----------

Resolution for anyone who needs it in future...
Code:
grep "^To" email.log |awk '{print "1,"$2}' > recipients.out ; grep "^Subject" email.log |awk '{print ",1,,,1,"$2}' > subjects.out ; grep "^Date" email.log |awk '{print ",1,"$2" "$3" "$4}' > date.out ; grep "^Date" email.log |awk '{print ","$5}' > time.out ; grep "^Size" email.log |awk '{print ",1,,"$3}' > size.out ; paste recipients.out subjects.out date.out time.out size.out > emailstats.txt ; rm recipients.out ; rm subjects.out ; rm date.out ; rm time.out ; rm size.out
