Full Discussion: Extract n-digits from string in perl
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Extract n-digits from string in perl Post 303003064 by rbatte1 on Thursday 7th of September 2017 09:08:47 AM

I would suggest using split being saved to an array, then display the appropriate field. Perhaps something like this might help:-
Code:
  my $line = "01/05/2017 10:23:41 [ABCD-22357$0]: file.log.38: database error, MODE=SINGLE, LEVEL=critical, STATE: 01170255 (mode main" ;

  my @tmp_array = split (/ /,$line) ;
  print $tmp_array[9] ;


Does that help?

grokevt-addlog

grokevt-addlog(1)														 grokevt-addlog(1)

NAME

       grokevt-addlog - A tool for adding a raw event log to an existing GrokEVT database.

SYNOPSIS

       grokevt-addlog  database-dir  evt-file new-type base-type .SH DESCRIPTION grokevt-addlog takes a raw event log (.evt file) and adds it to a
       pre-built database generated by grokevt-builddb(1). This new log file will be set up to use the message templates of another log, as deter-
       mined by the user.

       This  tool  is  primarily  useful for processing deleted logs and log fragments found on a system. While it is possible to use the database
       generated from one system with the logs of another, this is not recommended for investigations unless no alternatives exist.

ARGUMENTS

       grokevt-addlog uses the following arguments:

       database-dir
	      The base directory for the database generated previously by grokevt-builddb(1).

       evt-file
	      The file to be added to the database.

       new-type
	      The new log type/name that evt-file will take on.  This is the name that will need to be	used  later  with  grokevt-parselog(1)	to
	      access the new log. This type must not already exist in the database.

       base-type
	      The  existing  log  type that this new log will be based on. The message templates from this type will be used with the new log when
	      parsing. This type must exist in the current database.

BUGS

       Probably several. This particular script has not been extensively tested.
