Completey new to scripting, question/help?

So I need to write a script that can parse our logs and give me the amount of daily activity per user on our website. Unfortunately I'm still learning the very basics so please bear with me Smilie. Below is an example snippet from a log to give you a basic idea of what each entry in the log basically looks like (the important parts I want extracted bolded and are basically just the date and username):


Code:
blahblahblahblah- 05-26@09:31:26:235 INFO (blahblahblahblah) - myorganization.api.ApiHandler-0>getID(blahblahblahblah:"","user_info":{"username":"joe@somecompany.com","orgid":"blahblahblahblah"


So when somebody is on our site and performs activity, clicking through different pages, etc. an entry like above is written to the log for each bit of activity. In each log there can be several different days depending upon the activity (logs rotate based on size).

So far I've got this:

Code:
awk -F"\"username\":\"" '{ print $2 }' logs/mycompany.log | awk -F"\"" '{ print $1 }' | sort | uniq -c

This gives me a list of two colums, with the number of instances (and hence user activity) paired with the username. Now I need to associate these with the date so that for any given day it will output the username and activity and day/date, and output that to .csv file. I'm open to any method really, I "think" it shouldn't be too difficult to modify what I have already but then again I'm new to this and not really sure how to do it right

sar(1)							    BSD General Commands Manual 						    sar(1)

NAME
sar -- system activity reporter SYNOPSIS
sar [-dgpu] [-n mode] [-o filename] t [n] sar [-dgpu] [-n mode] [-e time] [-f filename] [-i seconds] [-s time] DESCRIPTION
The sar command is used to sample and report various cumulative statistic counters maintained by the operating system. It can be invoked in two different ways. In the first usage instance, n samples are reported at t second intervals. If n is not specified, only one sample will be captured. When the -o option is specified, sar will write the binary sampling data to the output file specified by filename. In the second usage instance, there is no on-going sample interval to specify. This is because the sampling input comes from a previously recorded, binary activity file. The binary activity file can be specified using the -f filename option. When the -f option isn't used, sar attempts to open a default binary activity file, /var/log/sa/sadd, where dd represents the current day of the month. The starting and ending time of the report can be restricted using the -e and -s options. Here, the time field is specified in the form hh[:mm[:ss]]. Finally, the -i option can be used to select the sampling interval. Only records at least seconds apart will be reported. When the -i option is not used, all of the previously recorded interval samples are reported. Due to the nature of on-going sample collection, the data is reported in a verbose mode when more than one sampling option is specified. Column headers are printed at the beginning of the report and averages are printed when the sar command terminates. OPTIONS
The following options restrict the sample set that sar reports. -d Report disk activity. device The BSD name of the device. r+w/s The number of reads and writes per second. blks/s Number of blocks (in device's default blocksize) transferred to a device per second. -g Report page-out activity. pgout/s The number of pages paged out per second. -p Report page-in and page fault activity pgin/s The number of pages paged in per second. pflts/s The number of faults that caused a page to be copied in per second. vflts/s The number of times vm_fault routine has been called. -n mode Report network activity with modes DEV, EDEV, or PPP. Multiple network modes can be specified. DEV The DEV mode reports network device statistics. The following information is displayed for each interface. IFACE The network interface name. Ipkts/s The number of packets received per second. Ibytes/s The number of bytes received per second. Opkts/s The number of packets sent per second. Obytes/s The number of bytes sent per second. EDEV The EDEV mode reports network device error statistics. The following information is displayed for each interface. IFACE The interface name. Ierrs/s The input errors per second. Oerrs/s The output errors per second. Coll/s The collisions that occurred per second. Drops/s The number of dropped packets per second. PPP The PPP mode must be specified in order to display ppp connections in the network statistics. This will also turn on the PPP modify mode in sadc (8) when sampling data is not being read from a file. By default, both the collection and report- ing of ppp statistics is turned off. See sadc (8). -u Report CPU activity (default) %usr, %sys, and %idle These report the percentage of time running in user mode, system mode and idle. FILES
/var/log/sa/sadd Default daily activity file that holds the binary sampling data. dd are digits that represent the day of the month. SEE ALSO
