Identifying a string from a set of files and printing to a new file
Dear All,
I'm an amateur to writing scripts and need to do the following
Need to read all files with a .log extension in a directory and identify the value for username i.e. all files have something like username = John. Once this is read, I need to print this value to a new file. The new file should have the information of the username and the file name that the value was read from.
Any help would be appreciated.

NAME
cancel - cancel jobs
SYNOPSIS
cancel [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -a ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -u username ] [ id ] [ destination ] [ destination-id ]
DESCRIPTION
cancel cancels existing print jobs. The -a option will remove all jobs from the specified destination.
OPTIONS
The following options are recognized by cancel:
-E
Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
-U username

-a
Cancel all jobs on the named destination, or all jobs on all destinations if none is provided.

Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#". Also,
printer and class names are not case-sensitive.

Administrators wishing to prevent unauthorized cancellation of jobs via the -u option should require authentication for Cancel-Jobs opera-
tions in cupsd.conf(5).
