Sed to parse log file
Hi all, thanks for reading the post.

I'm trying to parse hundreds of log files in a directory. One log file looks similar to below:

Code:
Investigator  : Jim_Foo
Custodian     : Jim_Foo-HDD1-FOO-1234
Export Path   : N:\FOO-1234\Foo_Foo
Compute MD5   : No
File List Only: No
Extensions Selected:
     DOC
     DOCX
     EML
     MSG
     OST
     PDF
     PPT
     PPTX
     PST
     XLS
     XLSX
     XLSM
     ZIP
     REP

Matched File : foo_file1.pdf
Match Type   : File Extension Match
File Number  : 0
File Size    : 640
MD5 Hash     : 'Compute MD5 Hash' not selected
MAC Times    : M=09/27/10 02:05:26PM  A=02/01/12 09:59:49AM  C=09/27/10 02:05:26PM  
Original Path: foopath\foopath\foopath\foobar\foo_file.pdf

Matched File : foo_file2.pdf
Match Type   : File Extension Match
File Number  : 0
File Size    : 123
MD5 Hash     : 'Compute MD5 Hash' not selected
MAC Times    : M=09/27/10 02:05:26PM  A=02/01/12 09:59:49AM  C=09/27/10 02:05:26PM  
Original Path: foopath\foopath\foopath\foobar\foo_file.pdf

I would like to search for strings with sed and put the results into a csv. I can search for the right patterns, but I'm having trouble printing it correctly.

Code:
$ sed -e '/Custodian/b' -e '/Matched File/b' -e '/File Size/b' -e '/Original Path/b' -e d *

Custodian : Jim_Foo-HDD1-FOO-1234
Export Path : N:\FOO-1234\Foo_Foo
Matched File : foo_file1.pdf
File Size : 640
Original Path: foopath\foopath\foopath\foobar\foo_file1.pdf
Matched File : foo_file2.pdf
File Size : 123
Original Path: foopath\foopath\foopath\foobar\foo_file.pdf[/CODE]

CSV needs to look something like this:
Code:
Custodian,Export Path,Matched File,File Size,Original Path
Custodian,Export Path,Matched File,File Size,Original Path

Code:
"Jim_Foo-HDD1-FOO-1234","N:\FOO-1234\Foo_Foo","foo_file1.pdf","640","foopath\foopath\foopath\foobar\foo_file1.pdf"
"Jim_Foo-HDD1-FOO-1234","N:\FOO-1234\Foo_Foo","foo_file2.pdf","123","foopath\foopath\foopath\foobar\foo_file.pdf"

doveadm-log

DOVEADM-LOG(1)							      Dovecot							    DOVEADM-LOG(1)

NAME

       doveadm-log - Locate, test or reopen Dovecot's log files

SYNOPSIS

       doveadm [-Dv] log errors
       doveadm [-Dv] log find [directory]
       doveadm [-Dv] log reopen
       doveadm [-Dv] log test

DESCRIPTION

       The  doveadm  log commands are used to locate and reopen the log files of dovecot(1).  It's also possible to test the configured targets of
       the *log_path settings.

OPTIONS

       Global doveadm(1) options:

       -D     Enables verbosity and debug messages.

       -v     Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

COMMANDS

   log errors
       doveadm log errors

       The log errors command is used to show the last	- up to 1,000 - errors and warnings.  If no output is generated, no errors  have  occurred
       since the last start.

   log find
       doveadm log find [directory]

       The  log  find  command	is used to show the location of the log files, to which dovecot(1) sends its log messages.  If dovecot(1) logs its
       messages through syslogd(8) and doveadm(1) could not find any log files, you can specify the directory where your syslogd  writes  its  log
       files.

   log reopen
       doveadm log reopen

       This command causes doveadm to reopen all log files, configured in the log_path, info_log_path and debug_log_path settings.  These settings
       are configured in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf.
       This is for example useful after manually rotating the log files.

   log test
       doveadm log test

       This command causes doveadm to write the message "This is Dovecot's priority log (timestamp)" to the configured log files.  The used prior-
       ities are: debug, info, warning, error and fatal.

EXAMPLE

       This example shows how to locate the log files used by dovecot(1).

       doveadm log find
       Looking for log files from /var/log
       Debug: /var/log/dovecot.debug
       Info: /var/log/mail.log
       Warning: /var/log/mail.log
       Error: /var/log/mail.log
       Fatal: /var/log/mail.log

REPORTING BUGS

       Report  bugs,  including doveconf -n output, to the Dovecot Mailing List <dovecot@dovecot.org>.	Information about reporting bugs is avail-
       able at: http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html
