In your earlier samples, the timestamps were in the 2nd field on a line and on the last field on a line.

producing the output:
with your new sample data.
And, please go back and look at that tutorial on how to post threads in the UNIX & Linux Forums and how to use CODE tags. There is absolutely nothing in there about using UNIX commands; only about how to format posts submitted to this forum in a manner that will allow people reading your posts to see leading spaces and tabs in the sample input, output, and code you show us and to see the difference between single spaces and sequences of spaces and tabs in the sample input, output, and code that you show us.

How come grep testfile1 won't find anything in testfile1 (even though the characters sd are there in great quantity), but grep '' testfile1 will find plenty?
Do the single quotes prevent the shell from interpreting the testfile1 is interpreted as: grep *test whether or not characters sd exist*... (5 Replies)
